Lots of love for Bill
August 21, 2024
To the Editor,
I am currently employed with the Bancroft LCBO. I am writing this to talk about my former coworker Bill Kilpatrick. As you may know, Bill and his family are fighting a battle right now. Bill has been diagnosed with lung cancer.
Working for years with Bill and getting to know his family has been great. On the lighter side, working with Bill has always provided us with a lot of laughs. He is contagious with his quick wit. I could walk into work in the worst of moods and after a while of working with him I would be laughing. That is the kind of charisma Bill has everywhere. When Bill was in the building all you heard was laughter.
I am reaching out to all who know Bill and his family and even those who don’t if you can please support his GoFundMe account. [https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-kilpatricks-fight-cancer] I and all of your coworkers love you a lot and are here for you in whatever you need. You will win, please remember that.
Connie Brody,
Boulter
