Condolence: my deepest sympathies at this most trying time .
I met Bill in the july of 1961 when i was posted to the minesweeper Thunder" ,;and also learned he too,was from Hamilton Ont .
I had just finished two's course and was to be the "tech"for the sparker world ..
Bill was the other sparker ..
He used to go nuts when i could nt understand some of the simplest of "tech stuff". Despite that we enjoyed a friendship for many years .. He certainly was ahead of everyone I know in the tech world and i learned so very much from him.I ,became a "ham"under his guidance and built my first "rig"under his watchful eye. We were friends for many years after that although we drifted apart
after his move to Truro .

Condolence: I first met "Bugs" Grundy in the mid 1960s.He was a Naval radio operator ( "sparker" they were called)and
was taking his first electronics course in the Naval Electrical School in Halifax. He was an amateur radio hobbyist, and began the training with a knowledge that was already quite advanced. I was a civilian instructor in a lab in the school at that time, and Buggs, along with other amateur guys, would hang around my lab at noon time. Bugs/Bill showed an exceptional aptitude for, and interest in designing and building radio equipment. his building was the best I saw in my whole career, spent in that same school. I was glad to later learn that he'd chosen Nova Scotia as the place to spend his life. I was sorry to read of his passing, and extend condolences to his family.

Condolence: In 1978, I attended an Adult Ed evening class in electronics taught by Bill at Shelburne Vocational School. That course led to my Amateur Radio ticket and a hobby that has anchored my life ever since. Over the years, I have done emergency radio work for the fire service, EMO and ground search and rescue, all thanks to Bill's teaching.
My deepest condolences to Bill's family on his passing.

Condolence: To Bill's family and close friends
I remember Bill well from when I was at the vocational school take up Refrigeration and AC. He taught me science for 2 years helping me to get my grade 12. He was comical and serious at the same time. He also always played part in the student's activities and help make it fun for everyone.
My thoughts and prayers are for all of you at this time of sorrow.
