On behalf of my wife Faye, our sincere condolences go to Fay, Kenny and Dale. Bill (known to a lot of friends as “Hank”) was a super guy and a good sport. Bill and I met when we both took Hawaiian guitar lessons at the Halifax Hawaiian Studios in Halifax in 1948, We lived in the same neighbourhood and remained best friends until his untimely death. When I moved to Montreal in 1960, he used to visit my mom. When I returned on holidays one summer, he told me about this terrific young lady in a brand new 1960 baby-blue Pontiac convertible used to vist a lady who stayed at my mom's. Bill wanted to meet her. So, I asked both ladies if they would like to come to Lawrencetown beach. The lady in the Pontiac was Fay Messenger. And that's how she became Fay Fay. (Coincidentally I married a Faye!).
The music never left us, Constant emails betweeen us kept us together to attend places such as Toronrto to attend steel guitar conventions where the star players came. I will surely miss him like no other friend. RIP, Hank.
George and Faye Rout, St. Catharines, ON

Dear Fay, Kenny and Dale: I was so very sorry to hear today that Bill had passed away - my sincere sympathy. Bill and Gordie were friends for many years and shared the love of music and more often than not would end one of their many practices or jams in deep discussion about almost any subject, and in the end trying to make the world a better place for everyone with their philosophical thoughts and ideas. Bill was such a good person and he will be missed by everyone who knew him.
