Born in Saint John, NB, Bill served in the Canadian Armed Forces for 30 years as a physical education and recreation officer. Bill and George Borden first met at Camp Aldershot, NS back in 1951-53 as army cadets. Bill and several other black basketball players were the cream of the crop in the Atlantic Provinces and North Eastern NS.  He joined the RCAF the RCAF as a Med A and remustered to RecSpec, then to PERI, and later on he was CFR (commissioned) and served at several bases and stations.  He always showed up at basketball and badminton tournaments and made a big impression. He was a happy funster, great broad smile, a tease and devilish in his conversation.  A big heart that will be missed!
