Thanks Bill for being my secondary school bus driver for many years.
You were a lovely man to see in that drivers seat each day taking us safely to school.
Then to see you again many years later, when I was an adult while buying your immaculate white falcon ute (which I called “Bill”) was an absolute pleasure.
So nice to have known you. Rest peacefully.May 16, 2026 8:21 am
Thanks Bill for being my mum Virginia's neighbour in Corangamarah. She would tell us if she is not in her room she is in her "Boyfriends" room.
