Foster MacKenzie wrote a sympathy message

“though I didn't stay in touch, Bill was my gym teacher back in 1963 and onward through basketball and track events for my years in truro junior and senior high school and before the CEC days. He was a patient and understanding man, soft spoken but able to get a point across to young undisciplined athletes. So many good men have left us and I count him one of those. RIP Bill. Foster MacKenzie”
