The New Zealand rowing eight just won gold at the Tokyo Olympics and all I could think about was how proud you would have been Bill. Pretty sure you had the best view of all. It is people like you, and what you were able to achieve in your lifetime, that pushed that boat ahead of the rest of the world. So happy, and so sad at the same time. Such is life, a celebration of triumph.

Dear Judy, Angela, Craig and Family We were so sad to hear Bill has passed away. He was such a lovely man and a huge lifelong friend to our Dad Bruce Culpan. They had so much fun together from their early childhood to present times. It was a wonderful privilege to have known him.

One of life's gems
With love

To Judy, Angela and Craig,
I'm very sorry to hear about Bill. As we know it's a very sad time for all. But try and remember all those happy and special times that you have had with him, that will help you through the days,months and years that you will now have without him.
I remember those parties that my parents use to have with all there friends include Bill and Judy, gosh those were the days!
Sad days ahead, but time does heal ever so slightly. For Angela and Craig, very important to phone your MUM every day even if its only for 10 mins, it's a long day for her with her love.
Thinking of you all at this sad time.
Love Anna Masefield ( nee Dowden)
