So sorry to hear of Bill’s passing I will always remember him as Mr McGinley from our years of skating at North Wentworth Arena. He was a great friend to my Aunt Judy & Uncle Ed for many many years. Sending condolences to all his family .

So sorry to hear that Bill had passed. .I can picture him painting the lines on the new ice surface where he is now.
My deepest sympathies to Susan and family. I have a very fond memory of attending your bridal shower as a child and the joy and happiness of that day. My thoughts are with you all.
Sorry to hear of the passing of Bill. Our condolences to Sue and family.
Bill had a “grounding” that helped me to understand more about what was going on in our community and especially in our mutual parish community. He was always polite, always courteous … and he had this mischievous smile. My heart goes out to Sue and all of the McGinley family at this difficult time; may he rest in peace and rise again in glory.
How very sorry Don and I are to hear of Bill’s passing. What a kind cheerful man he was and such a faithful Christian man.
Our prayers are now for Sue & her family for God’s comfort & presence at this time of grief.
May Bill rest in God’s glorious presence in eternal peace.
We are sorry to hear of the passing of Bill.
Our sincere condolences to Sue and family.
Sending much love. Bill will be sadly missed.
Dear Sue: I was deeply saddened to hear of Bill’s passing. He was always so kind and friendly. I will always remember him staying to the very end addressing Christmas cards for the newcomers. He was not going to leave until the job was done. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Lynn Dykeman

My dear Sue, I was so sorry to hear of your beloved Bill’s passing. It seems like only yesterday that you phoned to say that Bill was a very sick man and could we please ensure that his full name be mentioned in our Prayers of the People section of last Sundays’s service. He was a very good man Sue and you can be assured that he will be missed but remembered for his sense of humour and willingness to give a helping hand when needed.
God’s blessings on you and your family.
Pam Daniels
Sue and family

Susan and family,
Sympathies go out to you Susan and your family in the loss of Bill. I always enjoyed Bill’s sense of humour. Whether it be catching up shopping or in the vino shop. A fine man, who will missed by many.
Thinking of you all. He was such a kind man with the best laugh. So glad I got the chance to know him. Sending love,
Sarah, Sean, Mikey and Quinn

I first met Bill 60 years ago when we both worked at the Dundas arena. I would run into Bill and Sue at times and he still had a joke to share. Sue and family, my condolences and I’m glad I had the pleasure of knowing such a wonderful man.
Jean Quigley
Sorry to hear of Bill passing. Worked with Bill at the Dundas Arena in the late Fifties .Shared many laughs and times with him. A good man always. Billy
So sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. Will always remember him chasing us kids from playing foot hockey behind the end blues at Dundas arena only to find myself working alongside him a few years later. He was always happy, always joking and so enamoured with Suzie from the booth (one of Lil’s girls). Our sincere condolences to Sue and the McGinley family. Rest in peace Gint.

Robin and family
Thinking of you and your family during this very sad time.
Bill was my best friend growing
up on Sydenham St. He could fix anything, and our bikes were always functioning well. His Mom baked the best bread. Such good memories . My sincere condolences to Sue and family.

Susan and Family,
Sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. Lots of memories of growing up around the Melville/Sydenham area and then years of working with Bill in recreation for Flamborough.
He was a good guy and will be missed.
Sue and Family
I had the pleasure of working with Bill in the 80’s while I worked for the Town of Flamborough as it’s Director of Community Services. I could always rely on him to give me straight up goods on whatever issue we were dealing with. The Town was blessed to have someone like Bill working for them as he managed the arena as though he owned it. After I left I always enjoyed running into him as he always had a joke or two and his smile and laughter was ever present. I will never forget Bill and I offer you my prayers at this difficult time
God Bless
Thinking of you, Sue and family. Bill was my first boss at the North Wentworth Community Centre (aka the arena), and later I always enjoyed running into him in Dundas. We had great “catch-up” chats, and even though he could be quite cheeky, I always liked our visits. RIP Bill.
Sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. He was my first boss also at the North Wentworth rink, a place that became like a second home to me in my teenage years. My condolences to the family.
Dear PJ and family,
Thinking of your entire family during this difficult time, and hoping you can find peace in the memories you have. Our sincerest condolences.
