Bill and I worked together at O'Connell School in 1995 -96. He was a great support and we became great friends and breakfast buddies until he was unable to get out. We miss you at our weekly breakfasts and often reminisce about the good times.

It was with great sadness that I heard of the passing of Mr.Padley today. Mr.Padley was a kind, gifted teacher with a great talent for getting in touch with students having a tough time. My favorite memory of him, and im sure all of his student, was building those logs cabins. He was my favorite teacher, and no teacher left an impression on me the way he has. You will be missed my friend.

Bill, We had some good family times and fun together.You were always the teacher, taught me how to ski and to like hockey. Can't believe how you managed that. I remember your undying love and devotion to Sean and Scott. Rest in Peace Bill, you are forever missed.

Bill will be missed by many. He was a gifted teacher who cared about his students and who could handle the more difficult students. Bill thought the world of Scott and Sean and there wasn't a day that went by that he didn't think about them. He was passionate about cars and hockey. Conversations with Bill were always animated and my family had many a laugh with him. RIP Bill

I am a grandmother and it took a lot of years to meet a teacher like this man . With out his help everday I know my grandaughter would not have graduated and many many others that followd after her . He had a special way and kindnes that sould at all times with his students. He will be missed in the years to com.

I'm so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He was a longtime friend who will be remembered with affection. Sending his family my sincere condolences.

Sorry to hear about Bill's passing. Kerry and I both often think about Bill during his time in Dawson Creek in the late 1960's.
