Heard the news today from my mom, Doris Giddings. Wanted to send my sympathy to all of you. I remember the cottage at Sand Lake, and the fun we had on the beach, running up and down the stairs, and water skiing. I also remember the Schnauzers. I remember Bill's laugh and how he and my dad, Guy would tell stories about being at Guelph together. I also know how much Guy enjoyed the curling bonspiel down at St. Catherine's.
Bill and Kathy were also great support to my mom when dad passed away.
I hope all of you will remember the laughter, and how much joy Bill and all of you brought to my growing up.
Sincerely
Lee Anne Wiebe ( nee Giddings)

I am so sorry for your loss. Mom (Doris Giddings) called tonight to let me know about Bill's passing. We talked about our memories from the cottage on Sand Lake (where I learned about nice sand beaches with sand bars and those icky Things called leeches). My Dad (Guy) had such special memories of times at Guelph and being Bill's roommate until someone better came along. He always had great stories to share from certain curling events, too! My thoughts are with you at this very difficult time; please take care.
Kind Regards,
D.J. Chrysler (nee Doris Jean (D. J.) Giddings)

Kathy and family,
I was so saddened to hear from Mom of the sudden passing of Bill. He was a wonderful man, and I won't ever forget is amazing smile that lit up his whole face (and a room), right up to his twinkling eyes. You can see this captured in the picture posted here.
I am so grateful to him for all the love and care he took with a furry family members over all these many years. He was so perfectly suited to his chosen profession. Also thanks to him for the friendship with my parents and family for so many years as well.
My thoughts are with you all at this very difficult time. Remember all the good times.

My condolences, both to Ron and Mary Jane and the extended Combe families, I hope today becomes a special time of remembrance. Our emotions always play a role with our parents and where would we be without them in so many ways.
I did not know Dr. Combe personally but heard comments of gratitude expressed from those that did. Make today a time to gather strength and fortitude from each other and your memories.
May the day be special and those memories strong and unique for the future.

Dear Kathy and family,
I am so sorry to read the passing of Bill. He was very dear as you Kathy to my mother Jackie and I have fond memories of Bill as a friend of the family and our veterinarian. The one memory is when we lived on the Parkway and mom and dad had a party and Bill sat on our long hearth with others and our dog Penny visited everyone sitting there but avoided Bill. He was a true gentleman in every sense and loved his family and most of all the compassion he had for the animals and their owners. Once again my condolences to you Kathy.
Sincerely Patti Boese

Dear Kathy, Heather and family. I was shocked to read about the sudden passing of Bill who I have known since we both attended the St. Catharines Collegiate where we were in the same home room in Grade 10. He was also our Vet for some 17 years. Bill always had a smile and never passed up an opportunity to tease me. He was a warm and caring individual who loved and took great pride in his family.
My condolences go out to you as well as my prayers.
Sincerely
Marg. Cyr
