Our deepest Condolences to Truus and Family with the passing of Bill.
Also on behalf of my extended family in NZ and The Netherlands.
We first met Bill & Truus when we came to NZ more then 43 years ago now and we immediately got on very well. What stands out to me is that people with big families always have a lot of time for others as well and Bill and Truus were no different and they were our first friends in NZ as we had just arrived as a young family from The Netherlands. Our beautiful friendship endured right until now and feel very sad to have to say goodbye now but you had an amazing long and full live together with Truus and your loving family and friends and you will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace now Bill from your friend Louie.
