Dear Marie, Joe, Rana and Scott;
I was so sorry to hear of Bill's passing.He was such character filled with so much knowledge about building and of course horses and I'm sure much, much more.
I'm sorry I didn't contact you sooner but I've been out of town.
I remember shortly after Bob, my husband, died, someone said to me "you must feel like you have a huge hole in your heart and I did. She then added "soon it will fill with all the wonderful memories you have" and it did.
My thoughts are with you all during this difficult time.

To all Bill and Marie's family we send our heartfelt sympathies , prayers and support. Bill was an amazing gentleman and I say gentleman because he was in every sense of the word. Kind , compassionate , gentle of spirit , considerate , so many words can describe his character however to have been blessed to have known him was the highest honour. He was a great father , husband and cousin in law. He will be missed and mourned. So Bill go with love upon your journey , with love in your heart. There will be someone to guide you through the dark. You have left so much behind you , all the love you have given life and we wish so very sadly that we could see you one more time. Love , Trish and Fred. GJA9g

I send my love to all of you in this time of loss.
I feel so fortunate to have talked to Bill a few months ago and heard about his great adventure in the Grand Canyon. I'm just sorry not to have known him better and to know you kids too.
Mom and Dad always said good things about Bill and really enjoyed the visits they had with you and he, Marie. If they were here they would be in Port Hope tomorrow to celebrate his life. I wish I could be there. A big hug to you Marie.
With all my love

To all the Leggette family our deepest condolences on the passing of this "GREAT MAN" The joy he brought to all of us at Dawn-Glo with the rodeos he produced will live in our hearts forever. And although he taught all those cowboys/cowgirls many things the greatest was honour and respect. Every rodeo contestant that hung out with Bill had manners to burn and made their families proud.

Dear Marie and family,
Joe's text Sunday evening knocked the wind out of me, just as hitting the ground after leaving the back of a bronco or bull. Bill will be remembered in the heart and soul of all who knew him; he was a coach, teacher, believer, gentleman, musician and a friend - fair in everything he did, with a heart that brought happiness into this world, and a helping hand that cared for those around him.
As we remember Bill in the days and years ahead, it brings a huge smile knowing that he is now sharing his smile and joy of life with those who have gone before him. We will miss his most-wonderful laugh, but heaven has a new, buckle-wearing champion to keep everyone in good spirits.
Sing on my friend, and say hello to Doc Brown for us all...

It has many years since I last saw Bill & Marie at a rodeo but I remember what a stand-up guy and a real gentleman he was. Though the path I since travelled left the rodeo life I loved behind, it has never been forgotten. It feels like yesterday, it seems where we all got together every weekend following the circuit and a world like no other. Bill, you and your family are rodeo thro and thro and all the good that goes with it you shared with us all.
May you rest in peace and be assured the memories you gave us will never be forgotten. I look forward to seeing you at a Rodeo in sky friend.

Heather, Marie and family,
My sincerest condolences to you all during what must be such a difficult time. It is so hard to say goodbye to the ones we love, especially when it is so quick and without warning. My hope is knowing he left the earth doing something that brought him so much joy, will ease some of the pain in your hearts, if only in a small way.
I believe in my heart that those who have left us are never truly gone. I still talk to my Dad whenever I need him and I believe he can hear me. I hope it is comforting to know that connection is possible, and may time help ease the heaviness in all of your hearts.
Sincerely,
Jodi Tomlinson

My deepest condolences to all the family on the passing of Bill. I was so saddened to hear the news Sunday night. Bill was a wonderful family man, and although I didn't get to see him often, I knew when I first met him, that he would be one of my favourite family members. I enjoyed I times we spent with him, and I'll always cherish his gift of playing and singing at our wedding. I was pleased as punch when Bill came out camping and riding with us. Bob spoke of Bill so often, and always with a laugh at some story from years gone by. Bill also had a great laugh, and I won't ever forget his stories and that great wit. May God Bless you all and keep you strong as you go through this very difficult time.
With much love to you from Linda.

When I was little, I called him Uncle Big. In later years I called him Uncle Bill, but I think the first one described my Uncle the best. He had a great love of family, animals and saw the best in everyone.
His laugh would make you laugh even if it wasn't so funny.
To my Aunt Marie and all my cousins and their families, I am so sad for you all but Uncle Bill would like us to celebrate him and his life.
He has left us with great memories and his contagious laugh will live on in our hearts for ever.
Love to you all

Debbie, Pete, Natalie, Colin, Lisa, Jeff, Ashley, Mackenzie, Danica & Darby
