Noreen and Michael and family , first of all my condolences for your loss of a great man and husband and father and a true mentor ! I am in still in shock of the loss of my great friend Bill , I will always remember my first job in the Irving empire at the newspaper and how Bill coached me and trained me in any my ways , what a great leader and mentor ! We had became great friends and Bill had taught me a lot at the young age of 19 years old ! Great sales guy for sure and I was fortunate to learn from Bill on his great skills ! I must say Bill was the guy who designed the concept of the booster shot that we hear today , he would say to me at 5 pm Johnny are we ready for a little booster shot before we head home ( many people would know what Bill meant by the comment ) LOL
Life moves forward and almost 20 years later I ended up coaching hockey and guess who is playing for us , Mike Ballard ( who was a great son of his Dad ( Bill and Noreen ) Bill became one of the co- coaches and we refereed to him as the KEY MAN !!
I will always remember a comment that was refereed to me from Bill , when I worked ant the newspaper and left into my next career , he said , John we are HERE TODAY AND GONE TOMMORROW , how true he was for sure
Bill rest in peace my True Friend

Billy was one of the Montgomery Crescent North End lads who we hung with back in the teenage days in the mid-late sixties. Always a good lad and fun to be around. Names such as Jimmy Mills, The Duncan boys, Kenny and Johnny, Dave Connell , Frank Chenier, Tuck McKenna, Leo-Paul Frigault and I know I miss a few more to be sure ! Then on to a few years at St Macs where the antics increased and Ballard brother Howie joined the group. Just the other day, I shared an old memory with Billy of him buying my '73 baby blue Mustang. RIP Bill, sincerly, Tom Fournier, fellow North Ender

It is with great sympathy that my wife Kristal and I (Doug) send our condolences to Noreen and Bill's brothers and sisters. The Creamer and Ballard families grew up in Saint John together with frequent visits and activities. Billie was my younger cousin by two months and two days (but who's countimg?) Whenever we met as families Billy and Dougie always hung out and played together. It is interesting that as we grew up.(kind of) we both lost the ie in our names. I will forever remember the many good times we had playing in the back yard, and climbing Fort Howe. Rest well Billie. Kristal and Dougie Creamer
