From Bill Griffith:

“Bill had been failing rapidly for the three months before his death. His genial personality, and teasing, kind disposition endeared him to all who knew him. His fellow - workers termed him as “popular Bill”, and to the Doctors and nurses he was a model patient. Service was conducted by Rev. Doolan of Minnow Lake, in the chapel of the Jackson and Barnard Funeral Home, Sudbury. The body was taken by train to Pembroke and thence by hearse to the family home at Tramore. The funeral took place on Friday, July 14th, at 2 o’clock pm. The service was conducted by Rev. K.R.Cowan of Eganville. Pallbearers: 4 BIL - Philip, Peter, and Kenneth Boyle, David Anderson, and two cousins, Earl Foy, and John Foy. Flower bearers were nieces and nephews Gail Biggs, Jane Anderson, Orville and Rennie Boyle.”
