Dear Carrie and family, I was sad I was unable to come and celebrate your amazing dad. I have fond memories of Bill while working in the Baring Terrace church office on a Monday morning and debating scripture with him. I also was with him and your mum as he led my dad through the sinners prayer. A very special amazing man who I am sure will now be dancing in heaven. Cherish your memories.

Bill had a special relationship with our Dad Harold, at Manaia ... he had a strong memory for detail and enjoyed sharing the nephew/uncle experiences of farming, horse riding and motorbikes.
Bill was often present in the public areas of Jean Sandel, well known and sociable.
Gladys too, the famous pianist with talent I envied.
My sympathy to family members.
Kind Regards

Memories are special, and the recollections of times from years past blend the good ones with the difficult ones. I shall treasure mine, as I know you all will treasure yours too. Sunday visits- the little treefern Bill gave me to grow at our Kaponga home- the pianola playing in the front room.. the piece of no.8 wire he bent into its special shape a quiet, solid, caring man. My condolences to you all family- may Bill now rest in peace.

To the Snowden family. Sad to read of Bill's death a neighbour and friend of the Corbett family. Whe Mum was in Jean Sandel it was always good to have a chat with him and you must be proud of the dedication he had for your Mum. Sadly I'm currently in the UK so will not be able be able to join you. With my sincere sympathies Michael Corbett
