Funeral mass will take place at Holy Rosary Church, Westmount on Monday, October 16 at 11 a.m., with Rev. Doug Murphy officiating. Interment in Holy Rosary Cemetery.

Bill was an animal lover, especially to his cats, so memorials to the Feral and Abandoned Cats Society at www.faacs.ca would be appreciated.
