As someone no longer in the
game and a former teammate of Bill's in Calgary, I wanted to
express my sadness in learning of his illness and recent death.
Bill conducted himself in a professional manner on and off the
field and always had a word of encouragement for people just
getting started. In a sport that by its very nature can sometimes
bring the more aggressive side of our personalities out, Bill
seemed to have an unlimited resource of
patience, humor and good nature. To Tracy, his friends and family,
my sincere condolences; I know he will be missed!

Bill
Leslie was a man who befriended most of the people he met. I
was one of them. He was one of the early influences when I was
growing up in Canada. A very quiet, yet outspoken man, Bill was
a positive force in the Pacific Northwest Circuit. He'll be missed
for his quiet humor and his
love of the game. So long Bill .... see you along fieldside.
