Have just watched your wonderful tribute to Bill from Bruges,Belgium (flights organised by Best Travel ,of course!) I am so sorry not to be there in person with you all at the memorial service “You can take the boy out of Scotland, but you can’t take Scotland out of the boy” definitely rings true for Bill! Lovely to hear the stories from family,friends and work colleagues He will be missed for sure Much love Anne

I am so sorry I cannot be with you today in person, but in spirit I am right there with you at this sad time. Love to you and the boys, will be thinking of you

My Uncle Billy, I don't know what to say, I'm still in shock from your passing :( The hole you have left in the family is immeasurable. Forever known for your one liners and cheeky ways, which we will talk about always. We'll get Aunt Mags and Mum off those fag's like you wanted. Aunt Christine, Andrew & Alister, as always we send all our love and thoughts to you. I'm glad we could all be together with Uncle Billy, at the end, as the big strong Sheppard family we are. Love you all forever and always Suzanne & Alyssa xx

Billy, The best big brother a girl could have. Thank you for the memories, love, support and our unbreakable bond. Distance was nothing to us. I'm very grateful and proud to have had you as my brother. I will love and miss you always. Love to my wonderful sister-in-law, Christine, my nephews, Andrew and Alister & the Millward family.

Bill was a dear friend to us all and we miss him greatly. He was hard working,loyal and together with Christine made a wonderful partnership in both business and family life. Our prayers are with Christin and the Boys at his sad time. Terry,jenny and Alan.
