I met my cousin Bill at the Maryborough Football Club Rooms through a friend of mine, Don Ferguson who was a schoolteacher and secretary of the football club.
Only met him for a very short time but you could tell straight away that he was a very genuine man.
If there are any relatives of Bill’s that would like to make contact with me, I would certainly appreciate it as I don’t know any history of my father’s family (Leonard Bandy - born 04-04-1905) please contact me at Maryborough VIC through the white pages.August 22, 2024 11:01 pm
To the family of Bill just watched the service Bill was unique was not one of my men but was in Geelong 1975-81. We bonded and were good mates-he was a great copper. The prick would not come to the Feather Dusters at the Sir Charles Hotham Hotel but I still loved him regards ex D/S/Sgt Greg Moore 16051

I am in shock, I just left my old friend a message as I hadn't heard from him for a while. We were ;planning a trip on my houseboat and tonight I have learnt we have lost him.. He was great man, ;pound for pound the toughest man I ever met. We worked Brawler vans and demonstrations together while at the IPG under Chippy Norton. then later on the Beat at Burke St West.
I was there the night he met Helen, I was at his wedding , he was at mine. One amazing friend and I loved him.Rest well my old mate

Dear Nathan and family
What a beautiful service. You all did your dad proud. He is truly now a star in the sky.
My thoughts are with you. Love to you all.October 22, 2021 3:21 pm
Sincerest condolences on the loss of a great man. He was one of the last of the "Old School" Coppers and was a great mentor to many junior members (who are now becoming veterans themselves). He will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by many.

Dear Nathan, and family,
So sorry we will miss Bill such a lot!. We will miss his "traffic control" from our front verandah and his various cars in his private parking square in our driveway! Goodbye Old Friend.
