Thank you for making the world smile with every road you took, I was very saddened to hear the news. I will always remember the great games and memorable moments growing up on the ice!! Thanks for being a great mentor, coach friend and all around incredible person! Keep your stick on the ice 🙂

William was a great soccer leader and a mentor and friend to me. The commitment he gave to soccer in Ontario was truly breathtaking and selfless. He cared deeply about the game and the joy it can bring to so many, especially our kids. Humble and contrite, and a true professional who was not afraid to be courageous in his decision-making if it meant doing the right thing. A true example to us all. He will be missed deeply. Rest easy, my friend.

Friend, neighbor, and a terrific positive coach. William you touched a lot of people and built bridges that few can do. rest in peace. Oakman Place lost its Leader and Mayor

Dear Win and family. I am so very sorry to hear of Wil’s passing. Our thoughts are with you all. Jenny and Don Ogden

I had the pleasure of knowing William only through his most generous and gracious commitment of both time and effort to soccer in Ontario, which greatly and positively benefited and influenced both the sport and the players.
He was a fine man who will be missed.

Win, Victoria and Alex.

Words cannot express how deeply saddened we are by your loss.

May the pain you feel today and in the days to come will be overwhelmed by the feelings of gratitude and love for having had such a wonderful person in your lives.

Cherish the memories, the photographs and speak to him and of him often, for he is still there, forever in your hearts and souls.

William was a great guy. I enjoyed our long talks about the state of soccer and the world in general. He was a man of integrity. William will be missed by all.

We will never forget the support William gave our family, we will always remember.

With the loss of William … there are not enough words to describe the man he truly was, a devoted husband and father. A man who was there for you and asked for little in return. His sense of humour, although dry to some, was a fine art and will be missed. He always knew what to say and when. We all share in the loss of William and will be hard pressed to fill the void any time soon. Thank you for sharing William with myself and my entire family. The Phillips Family

We are deeply sorry for your loss. William was a truly dedicated advocate for youth soccer and will be missed on the pitch. Our sincerest condolences to his family friends and community. Thank you William for your impact to soccer in Peel Halton and Ontario Soccer.

Sincere and profound condolences Win, Alex and Victoria. William was an extraordinary man. I remember when my husband died, Wil appeared on my doorstep and vowed to include my then 13 yr old son on his hockey team complete with rides equipment and above all – the most valuable coaching. RIP William, you have left the world a better place!

You’ll be missed in the community , but never forgotten.

I am still in such shock at the loss of such a tremendous and larger than life friend. I met Will through his wife Winn at Irish dancing. Eventually as the years passed, I got to know Will and what a character he was. His eyes simply danced with mischief and he had an infectious sense of humour. My fondest memories of Will are at Pioneer Village with our book club. We had fine dining and a carriage ride and once we reached the chapel, Will and I were exchanging jokes. The ‘sermon’ in the little church house began at night for Xmas eve, and all Will and I could do was giggle non stop. I rememeber feeling so happy and alive but also aware of the fact that Will and I were interruping the church service. His humour was hilariously funny and I often enjoyed joking with him on the phone before he gave it over to Winnie. Will, you were a Scottish hero and a warrior. You have left an indelible mark on the world. You were greatly loved and always will be and you will missed as well. Rest easy, dear friend. See you on the other side one day! Love, Dehlia (and Keith)
