Doreen,Roxy,(aka as Roxy Roller) and Kelly- Joan and I are in Portugal when we heard the sad news of my best bud Bill passing away. Bill was truly a great person. He took me under his wing ,when I moved to Estevan 30 years ago . My first three months in Estevan I was staying in Hotel .My wife Joan and my sons Ken and Mike were in Regina waiting to move to Estevan. During that time Bill invited me over for supper many times so I could enjoy his family and home cooked meal.Actually Bill called me the day after I got the job at SGI in Estevan to congratulate me and welcome me to the Estevan office. He invited me to come down Friday night for meet the staff, drinks and the biggest steak I have ever seen in good old Noonan. When I retired from SGI, Tammy from the SGI office (always count on Tammy)made up photo album of pictures taken at office events over the many years. In just about every picture Bill and I are seen together. Not sure where the wives were(lol). I will miss Bill's yearly call to wish me a Happy Birthday. Joan I and are sad we will not be able too attend the funeral. Bill left us to early . That being said Heaven is better place with Bill's presence. Sincerely and lovingly Ron and Joan Grobbink
