William Alvin 'Bill' McCracken

So sorry to hear of Bills passing. Will miss Bills phone calls and or our by chance meeting at coffee shop. Got to know Bill through our work and Debbie met him as a patient. Great man.

Sending condolences to the family, friends, and Bills community in reading of his passing. It was always a pleasure to visit with Bill, and Janet when seeing them. He enjoyed chatting about his time as a young fellow, and the folks of his generation. Janet, you are in my thoughts, and prayers at this time.

Janet and Family..please accept my sincere condolences

Janet and family,- we were saddened to learn of Bill`s passing. He was a true gentleman who provided caring leadership and quality work each and every day through the many years that he was road supervisor in the former Township of Percy. Over and above his work ethic he was a true friend to so many. He definitely made a great difference and will be truly missed.

Bob and I are so sad to hear of Bill’s passing. We recall all those Saturday breakfasts at Vito’s! Such a very sweet gentleman! Rest in Peace Bill

To Janet, Linda, Paul, Lisa and families, we are saddened by the loss of your beloved husband, father and friend. A great man who spoke his mind and was full of practicality and common sense. He will be missed. RIP

What a gifted and wonderful man was Bill! He had such wisdom, borne of respect and love of our Northumberland County communities. I will miss his sage advice, the twinkle in his eye, his encouragement. Always, he was a quiet, effective supporter of so many community events and committees, simply THERE making things go forward. Much love to you, Janet, and family. Thank you for sharing Bill. (Sadly, I cannot attend Wednesday because county council is meeting: I know Bill would get that.)

My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Bill was a great friend to all and will be missed by many. May your many memories bring you comfort.

Where to even begin 12 years ago we moved onto the same street as Bill & Janet. They have been around to watch our little family grow from 2 to 3. From chats on the driveway , coffee on the porch , giving the kids treats while they rode bikes. We have always said how lucky we were to have neighbours like them . Bill & I quickly realized we had Warkworth in common he knew my family and we always caught up about who was related to who . Bill’s presence will be missed on our street . And I know our family will cherish our memories of bill for years to come . Condolences to Janet & his entire family. Love Mat , Alicia,Bentley, everleigh & Lincoln Todish

Rest in peace Uncle Bill

My condolences and prayers to Janet, Linda, Paul and Lisa and all your family. Bill will be much missed by all who knew and loved him. I always appreciated so much the limited but enjoyable times I had with him through the years - mostly visiting, talking and laughing - times which were by my reckoning too few. Sharing your sorrow today.

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.
