Spring always brought flowers and our birthdays! Think of you always. Love, Lana
This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, William Wiens (Bill or Billy). We encourage you to share your memories with Bill's friends and family.
Billy loved to laugh and never tired of learning. He lived life his way and often made a bold impression on the lives he touched. Many four-legged friends owe their happy lives to this man. His heart for their well-being will always be remembered. In honour of his memory, donations may be made to Urban Wildlife Care (http://www.urbanwildlifecare.com/, contact: Cara Contardi).
A celebration of his life was held in Cambridge on Saturday, March 29, 2014.
Feel free to also email his family at inmemoryofbillwiens@yahoo.ca.

It is hard to believe 2 years have passed since your passing, Dad. I am constantly reminded of how you influenced my life and who I am, and I am increasingly thankful (which I didn't know what possible) for you! I'm so happy you are my Dad. Love you and miss you always!

Today is a year since we lost you. I have missed you every day. You are and always will be someone who helps shape my life and, because of that, you will help shape your granddaughter's life too. I love you and miss you so much.

No words are ever enough... It was beyond difficult not having you here on your birthday and with Father's Day fast approaching, the loss is magnified. I miss you every day, but this time of year is particularly hard. Always in my thoughts and heart. Love, Ronna

Violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red - the colours of the rainbow that Billy taught me – he used to tell me all the things he learned from Mr. White in grade eight science class. He never stopped trying to tell me things he thought I should know, although over the years they became more complicated, and we didn’t always or even often agree. But the love between us was always there and I appreciated his support and good counsel – and quick, quirky wit. And the gentleness he sometimes tried to hide. We could count on Billy to bring us down to earth in the family email round robins on some subject we thought was serious until then. He had many difficulties to bear but never lost the ability to look on the funny or bright side. I’m imagining what pithy comment he might put in this tribute and can’t help smiling. I’ll always be watching for rainbows and thinking of my big brother Billy - and his smile. With love, Lana

My Uncle was always very supportive of mine and Frank's acting career. Many times he would say "that should be Rachel and Frank on that show", instead of the currently cast "silly" actors.
I remember when he found out that Frank was going to be on Murdoch Mysteries, he would send me random text messages after each weekly episode telling me how great Frank was playing "That Woman", or "That Fat Bald Man", for example. His joke being that Frank was on every episode just disguised so well as other actors. It always made us laugh. Thank you Uncle Billy.
