Hoisting a glass of chocolate milk to hail the almighty Bill (since getting a 7year old loaded apparently isn't an acceptable practice for some reason). Everyone has those relatives where they feel obligated to say something nice at times like this... ya know...even though its a pile of crap! Well Bill will never be one of 'those'. He was genuinely a great guy and an example of how to make the world a better place to be. And not just Bill, but the whole Eves clan radiated good times and warm company. Never a dull moment and full of fond memories at the cottage especially sitting on the tailgate of a certain yellow Datsun going breakneck speeds with kids flying all over the place and a poor dog trying to keep pace on our way to go swimming at the 'beach'.
Our last meeting at Mom and Dads cottage was proof things haven't changed much since those days and I was so glad to see Bill Judy and Angela again. Sadly I can't make it out to the praise Bill party, no doubt it'll be good!! He is certainly being remembered here at home as I tell Kenji all the crazy times we had during those days.
Cheers Bill!!!!!!!

Bill was always a Summer staple in my life growing up! I still remember the Rides to the Beach on the back of the Truck, the Paddle at the cottage and Pigs in a blanket ( probably a Judy thing but far be it from me to take Bill out of that equasion as I remember his explination of how they got the pigs in there LOL...... He has taught me Many Many lessons in Scarcasm, Witt and Humor. He really knew the value of Laughter to Humanity as a whole. I had planned on coming to the "Praise Bill Party" as I had hoped to not only share in the Praise to the Legend "Bill" but also to touch base with the "Kids" as we are now all grown( for me the Grown is more of a physical girth) Unfortunately Work has interfered yet again and I am forced to cover for one of my direct reports who went and got a Concussion ( not even sure how he got it....I figured Bill woudl enjoy that one!) Tony and I will share some Lucky Lagger in his honor on Saturday. My thoughts and Reverence to Bill's well deserved Praise Party"
Love Kathleen ( and Tony, Joshua,Jacob, Jazz ( the Parrot), Princess ( the Puppy)!!!!!

Mr. Eves was my teacher and principal in gr. 7 & 8. I will never forget him and will forever cherish my memories of him. His humour, without a doubt, will be remembered. His spelling dictations where his creative use of language was boundless. "Word: Disaster. Sentence: The lady backed into the meat grinder and it 'disaster'." I also remember his countless good natured barbs at my Mom, such as when we were watching a filmstrip of Samuel de Champlain (yes there was such a thing before youtube) and he instructed us to fully appreciate the pictures..."because Mary's Mom took them." As much as I loved his humour, and I truly did, I also had a deep respect for his conscientious approach to teaching and running a school. I felt secure and confident in his presence. He brought a level of humanity, stability, and caring to my elementary school years that made an enormous difference to me. God bless you, Mr. Eves.

For a number of years, my husband was a member of the support staff at St Paul’s school where Bill was principal. Both were great teasers, and I’m sure the teaching staff was wary about what “shenanigans” that might get sprung on them during the course of their teaching day. Any of my ventures into the school looking for my husband would usually end up in a chuckle at Bill’s attempt to try to get him into trouble of some sort (usually involving his “girlfriend”). And the annual Christmas card would always contain some witty comments to the same effect. I also remember the Spring seed catalogue collaborations when they ordered seeds and made plans to trade plants (and garden bounty recipes (Bill’s recipe for “Dilled Green Beans” was the best) - both being avid backyard gardeners. I also learned that at one time Bill had considered going into the priesthood – while I’m sure his charm and amicable and solemn ways would have contributed greatly to this career path, his sometimes “risqué” wit may have gotten him into a “bit o trouble”.
Bill’s life was an example for all of us to follow – to be passionate about the things we love, to live the moment and live life to the fullest, and to never forget our sense of humour – it can help us through the difficult times. He has touched many peoples lives in such a positive manner, and left so many smiles behind. Raising my glass to you Bill – forever missed and remembered (always with a smile) by Gail (and Paul and the Boys).

Our daughter ,Amy was a grade 3 student at John the XXIII school in the late 1970's. Computers were just being introduced to the school and the staff were learning how to use them . Bill would call her down to the office to show him how to boot up the computers and during one of their visits, he found out that she loved to look at birds. She came home the next day and got off the bus with a bird book that was half her size. Bill had lent it to her and asked her to tell him what she'd seen. She made lists and they had talks about once a week before she finally returned the book. Amy graduated with her Biology degree,lives and works in Mexico doing environmental impact studies and leads birding tours. She has traveled the world with her list in hand finding the birds she has yet to see. Bill helped her turn her passion into her life long work. Well done, Bill !

Bill was principal at Sacred Heart School when Brian was a resource teacher for the school board. Brian would visit about once a month and often stop to talk to Bill. He always came home with a smile on his face. The enrollment at the little school was declining and there was talk of closing the it. Bill asked Brian to read a letter that he thought would fix the problem . Bill had written to the Archbishop of Kingston asking for special dispensation to become a Mormon for a year and within 5 yrs. he could up the enrollment of Kindergarten class. He did mail it and we're sure the Archbishop found it humourous.

Hey, Bill, that was a comedy one too far. You should have had someone else write it. You deserved so much better. I remember you so clearly when you entered the Society in 1957. We both found a bond in our mutual sense of humour. The refrain throughout our one year as novices together (I was a "Secundi" in '57) was "You'll never make!" Funny, what? Neither of us "made it." I will never forget you and always remember you in my prayers.

Mr eves was my elementary school principal. He was also my Father's principal. Mr eves would call me by my fathers name and snicker at me and I would laugh every time. He was my favorite teacher growing up. It is kind of sad to say because he never taught me formally. he was merely my principal.
He was old school in his morals. One time at school I was being bullied/pushed down on the snowhill, I recall It was not a real problem, just childplay however I told Mr eves because I wanted the other boy to get in trouble. mr eves took one look at me and made us both stand against the wall for the remainder of lunch! that taught me a valuable lesson never to complain unless something is truly worth complaining about.
I never knew him as a man, but a principal, He was very fair, He did punish you to make you learn . He did this to teach you , to make you grow up. I just wish I had him in my life more, he was a good role model and good man, always with a joke around the corner to soothe the soul

I worked with Bill for a brief time at Zeller's about 50 years ago. Knowing him I would say if he didn't write his own obit his great wit has obviously been passed on to a family member. I am sure he was a great educator but I think he missed his calling. I think he should have been a comedian! No matter what the conditions, talking to Bill he would put a smile on your face if he didn't have you break out laughing. The last time I met Bill we were in opthamology at the hospital and on parting I said "See you later" and his response","I'll keep an eye out for you!". My sincere condolences to Judy and his family. I'm sure he is making people laugh on the other side.

2. The time I finally kicked the school bullies ass you never gave me grief. I think you may have been cheering for me secretly. In reading your obit it wouldn't surprise me if you made book on that one. I hope you doubled down.
Rest in peace Mr Eves. Thanks for a great set of school memories. Give 'em heck on the other side. Til we meet again..........

Mr.Eves was my principal when I arrived at a new school (John XXIII) after moving to Kingston half way through the school year. I was always anxious and now I was "the new kid".

I never had the good fortune to work with Bill, but did encounter him when he was a member of a Ministry Review team who were evaluating St. Linus/Mount Carmel. As a first year teacher, I was stressed by the prospect of this evaluation process. After weeks of preparing the students for our visitors and reminding them to be on their best behaviour, we were ready. When the group left my room, you can imagine how shocked I was to notice Bill still in the classroom, under a table reading with one of my students. I guess I forgot to tell Bill to be on his best behaviour! What a breath of fresh air he was. I appreciated him lightening up what was a very stressful time. That very brief experience with Bill taught me the lesson, that it was okay, even in the serious job of education, to have a little fun. I have tried to remember that over my teaching career. Have a good laugh for us in heaven, Bill =) God Bless.

Our students mattered to him; he bantered about easily with them, encouraging and guiding them to be their best. Being and working with him at school was a unique adventure. The light-hearted foolishness and fun he engaged us all in, made the learning, teaching and working environment optimal. It was a "win-win" time in our lives.

Over the years from when I first met him in 1957, Bill had impressed me with his warmth, his wit, and his humanity. In recent years he added a bit of spice to my life by exchanging raunchy jokes while, at the same time, frequently keeping my wife and me delightfully entertained with his witty and informative email notes. But most importantly, on a number of occasions during the last few weeks of his life, he inspired me with his candor while we talked about his life, both past and present, and the calm resignation with which he accepted his imminent death. His was a life well-lived; he was a true mensch; and, like everyone else who knew him, I will miss him very much.

I have many fond and happy memories of Bill. I was his IT support at the Catholic board. 2 of the most memorable was a comment to an elementary student that almost landed him in hot water! The student had been misbehaving and Bill had him in the principal office. The student not wanting to behave continued his bad behavior, and Bill finally said to him, "If you don't behave, I will have to shoot you" Well Bill was new to this school, and the students (or staff) did not really know him yet, the student left in tears, and Bill had some s'plaining to do. It all worked out.
The other was when I changed employers, and Bill had sent me a donation to Heart and Stroke for the Big Bike Race, the letter inside was one to remember but it was the return address on the envelope that caused the commotion. It was Bill's Escort Service, Amherstview, Ontario . The secretary did not want to give me the letter, but one of the guys in the office, said give it to her, maybe she has a business on the side. I still have that letter and envelope in my desk drawer.
Happy Trails Bill....we will miss you until we meet again

I have known Bill since I was in grade 3 and that would be 32 years in total.Not only was Bill my principle he was also a good friend.When people would see the bad in others ,he would only see the good. I was one of the lucky ones that got to spend my adult years drinking some beer and hanging out talking about all the crazy things we all did when we were young.He will be missed but I guarantee he is looking down on us cracking jokes. I will miss the emails !

I will miss this man with all my heart. He was there with his staunch support when this family was attacked. It meant so much. I hope that you have found Shangri-la because you deserve this. Happy trails to you until we meet again.
