Bill could always make me laugh, especially when using his Scottish brogue. Time to rest, Bill.

I worked with Bill a number of years, and we had our ups and downs at times, but we both had great respect for each other. I had kept in touch mostly by e-mail over the years, but recently we had got together for breakfasts at a restaurant close to Bill's place. One of the days I invited a number of the lads who worked at MIL. So there we were, a bunch of ex working class West of Scotland shipyard workers some of whom hudnie seen each other in a number of years, arguing about politics and football talking about some of the great characters we had met over all the years and of course moanin aboot some of the jobs we had all worked on over that period. it was great! Margaret thanks for all the wonderful support and dedication you have given to Bill especially in the recent years. I can tell you he really appreciated it. RIP Bill you were a one off. Wha's like us.

My parents were neighbours with Margaret and Bill for almost 40years. When I was around 11yo Bill brought me to Montreal to see his niece and go to Montreal Expos game. To this day it is still one of my favourite childhood memories. He made me feel very special like I was a niece to him too. I when I was a teen he was always teasing me in a good natured way about getting it backwards with short hair and long shorts - haha. When I introduced him to my kids, he couldn’t help teasing me about their Catholic names (Sarah, Joseph and Andrew). I will miss you, you old Scot! I loved you very much xoxo

RIP Billy boy. The Burnett’s years are forever cherished and you were a large part of those years. Best street in Barrhaven. Thank you for the memories. Hopefully you and dad are sipping some Scotch wherever you are.
RIP Bill. Your Scottish brogue will stay with us forever. We always loved it.
