Sincerest condolences to the McCracken family. Seeing Bill's face instantly reminded me of the 1970's ''Old Timers'' hockey team and Saturday nights spent at the old Colborne arena, watching ''the dads'' playing their weekly game, fond memories. My thoughts and prayers go out the Bill's family during this difficult time.
Condolences to Janet and family in the loss of Mr. McCracken.
Oh that lovely man made me smile! Sincere condolences to the wonderful people who loved him. Sending love and support to all.
