Words of sympathy

Peter Leonard wrote a sympathy message

“William/Billy Benoit was a long-time friend of the Leonards in Southern Harbour, as a boy and a teenager. I can remember Billy visiting us to have a conversation, a cup of tea, and some fun with us children trying to scare us mostly. He was always in a good mood and we thought of him as a gentle giant. He was always singing in the dark of night when he would leave to go home. May you rest in peace, Billy. Peter, Carrie, and the Leonard families.”
