I just heard about the passing of Bill and Sandy, and I am so sad to hear the news. I have really fond memories of time with Bill, Sandy, and Casey in London, and and remember Sandra as exceptionally kind with ready hugs, and Bill with a big grin as he would frequently tease! :) Casey, I am thinking of you especially- I wanted to reach out personally, but not sure how currently, but our contact information is with Haskett if you like. I am wishing peace and comfort for all the family.
My sincere condolences to Casey and Brianna and families. May your happy memories of times together bring a smile when you need it. Sending hugs!
We are saddened by the loss of Sandra & Bill.
Sandra was a valued member of our auction team for many years. She was always cheerful & “up” for any challenge. We often tapped into Bill’s extensive knowledge of many areas of antiques & collectibles.
We will remember them….

I had the pleasure of working will Bill for 20+ years. He was kind, had an attention to detail and always fair. We looked forward to our annual in-person meeting where he would speak fondly of Sandra and we would get a cat update :)
My deepest sympathies to their family and friends on this huge loss.
There are tears in my eyes for this sad event. Cindy and I’s hearts go out to our surviving family members. Rest in Peace.
Dear Casey and Brianna, I am so sorry that your Mom and Dad have passed away. They were a constant in our neighbourhood, and I am going to miss them. You two take care of each other, and remember all the good memories! Hugs, Janet
There are no words to express the loss, we have for many years worked with Bill as a supplier to our company Cover-all Computers, and he will be dearly missed. I was fortunate to have met Bill giving the distance between our organizations, but his care and attention to detail made it such a pleasure to work with him.
Rest in peace and all the best to your family.

Sending our deepest sympathy to Sandra & Bill’s families for your loss. Though we hadn’t formally met Bill, we knew Sandra and shared several chats when she was out for a bike ride or on the street or attending a function. She always had a smile even when she was feeling poorly. We, like many others who knew them are feeling the huge loss as well. May they rest in peace together.
Casey, so sorry for the loss of your parents. They were such good people and I enjoyed talking to your mom over the years many times as you grew up in this small town.
We are deeply saddened to hear the news of Bill and Sandra’s recent passing.
We had the pleasure of working with Bill for nearly 40 years and will never forget his honesty and commitment in serving his clients. His integrity is rare in the world of business and we remember him with the greatest respect.
Love and prayers for Casey and Brianna as they journey through this season of the loss of two precious souls.

Heel veel sterkte gewenst voor de hele familie. Lieve groeten van Wout en Lia van der Wal. Ik ben een dochter van Janny Aalders die een zus was van Harmpje Marissen. Dus een nicht van Gini en Kees.
Our sympathy for your great loss Casey and Brianna, our community is better for your parents’ many contributions. They were great people.
This has been a tremendous shock for the entire family.
“Two hearts beat as one” is surely true in this case.
They would not have wanted to be parted.
Deepest sympathy is sent to Casey and Brianna,
Kees and Jeany, Brian and David and Shawna.
The Dutch word “Sterkte” comes forth. In one word it says,
“May God grant you the strength (and courage) that you need during this difficult time”.
With love from Aunt Tiena and Uncle Norman.
