I was very sad to hear of Bill's passing.I am the only Maguire in the province at this moment. Several are out of the country but have been sent the notice about Bill. Many an afternoon or evening was spent by many of the maguire family at the Macpherson farm. When we buried mom, Bill kindly offered his home for the luncheon afterwards. He will be missed by family and friends.
