Default RIP Bill

Sad indeed. I was away early Sat and missed the fact he had passed until yesterday.

Bill was a great guy and although I only actually knew him for about 10 years, his good reputation preceded him.

I was very anxious when I was picked by the Armour School to go recover the Ferret from him back in 2011 but he couldn't have been better about it and subsequently helped in our further efforts.

A good soldier and a good man. R.I.P. and my condolences to the Family.

regards
Darrell

I never got to meet him, we spoke by phone for nearly an hour as I passed by on my way down east a few years ago and I was struck by how generous he was with his comments and knowledge.

A fountain of knowledge and a sad loss.

Default Sad to hear about Bill.

Had wonderful conversations with him at the barn and in NB. Always willing to share with others his expereinces and knowledge.

My condolences to his family.

He will be missed.

Bill certainly was a character (and I mean that in a positive and good way), a fountain of knowledge and a all round great guy. The MV restoring hobby has taken a big hit with his passing. Cancer sucks (lost my brother to it) and I hope and wish all the best for his family. Hoping that where he is now has endless MilVehs in need of restoration and he has his "covvies" and tool box at hand.

Default In Memory of William "Bill" Mulholland, MWO (Retired) 1947-2016

A great day for a fine send off for a great friend. Attached are a few pics of the procession for Bill from St. Luke’s Chapel at CFB Gagetown to St. John’s Cemetery. The chapel was filled with many friends and family in attendance. A fine eulogy was given by eldest son Mike. The Diamond T was driven by Bill's sons, Mike and Jeff. Toward the end of the service, it was noted by the Reverend, in reference to a conversation with Bill regarding internment and location. It was confirmed the wrecker was a touch too large for for the space available.

One look at this man, and you knew he meant business. He will be missed.
