In 1988 Bill was my first mentor and supervisor as I left family practice and became a MHO trainee at Boundary Health Unit in Surrey. He was patient, politically savvy and very supportive. We enjoyed driving to field experiences with the top down in my convertible. Subsequently as a colleagues, Bill and I became good friends. He was always available to consult or socialize. My daughter Heather often mentions how Bill's daughter was influential in her career, helping Heather navigate graduate school options and potential careers.
Dear Peter and Jim, Walter joins me in recalling how much Bill mean to our lives. I have fond memories from the summers we drove to UBC while we both had summer jobs, he in Pharmacology and me at Royal Commission on Education. Love and sympathy from the McLean's
