Mar 30, 2014 Diane Roach I only new Bill and the rhubarb man with the great sense of humor. He will be remember every spring when I pick my rhubarb from the plants he gave me. My sincerely sympathies. Diane Roach Mar 30, 2014 Marg Ferguson Madeline and family: Our sincerest sympathy to you and your family. When I worked at EDS, Tom would bring in raisen tea biscuits, and if they weren't ready, then Cliff would leave work for a few minutes to go and pick them up...they were the best! I often wonder if Bill ever used the apron and oven mitts we gave him. Even though we only live on the next street, we would always converse with him, if he was outside. A very nice man, and am sure he will be missed by all. Rest in peace Bill. Mar 30, 2014 Teri, Shawn and Lindsay We are really going to miss you Dad, Poppy!

Lots of love, Mike and Angela Chong Apr 4, 2014 Jim Racknor & Mary Calder Mary and I would like to extend our condolences to Madge and the entire Lovelock Family. Ever since 1978, when Bill squeezed a late/new-comer into the GMSHL, Monday became a winter night for me to look forward to. Not only was there hockey to be played but also opportunity to spend time in the stands of the Civic with the people who made the league unique. Bill cared intensely about everything he did. He made sure the games and the annual social events that went with them revolved around the people involved without lessening the competitive spirit of the sport. Apr 4, 2014 Janda and Jaimie Hellas Teri, Shawn and Lindsay:
Our thoughts and prayers are with you today and always. You were so blessed to have such a great man for a father, father-in-law and grandfather! I must tell you that he was a very caring man and always wanted the best for his family and friends. It was an honour to share so many birthdays with him at his home in the last number of years. He always had something to give to others. We would come home with candies or muffins or tea biscuits or tomatoes and the list went on. We will miss him.

A very special man that was truly a delight to know Apr 11, 2014 janet jukic Dear Madge and family I was so sorry to hear about Bills passing. He was a wonderful man and many of my childhood memories include him. He made our time at Sunset View so special and memorable.

He was certainly one of a kind. Apr 12, 2014 Jackie & Bill McConnell Dear Lovelock family: We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Bill. It was a pleasure to have met him.

May 14, 2014 Arn Stapleton Bill was my first hockey coach at St. Andrews in the PCHL. He was a dedicated coach and he moulded us into a strong team! It was men like Bill who gave of their time to coach kids that has inspired me to do the same. By the accounts given it sure sounds like Bill had an amazing life.
