Uncle Bill was such a very special person who loved everyone. We all have our own special memories of him, we will always remember our time going in his boat to the island to pick Blueberries. Now he is meeting up with all his loved ones at the Campfire in the sky!!! Rest in peace Uncle Bill, we will always love you!! Love the Garton Family!! xoxo

It is very sad to hear of Bill’s passing. The White shell was Bill and Bill was t he White Shell. They called him “wild-Bill” and he didn’t mind one bit. Gone but not forgotten!!
