Condolence: Helen, I’m sorry for your loss, while I only met Mr. McWilliams on a few occasions, I found him a unique person, funny and engaging. I wish you, Bruce, Brianne, Shannon and the entire family courage, strength and peace at this difficult time. Lisa & Jerome Simms

Condolence: Helen, our deepest sympathy to you Bruce and your family. Neill was a gentleman not easily forgotten, and our thoughts are with you all at this difficult time. Heather Johnstone & Dennis Hayward

Condolence: Dear Helen, Brian, Gordon, and Freida, I am so sad to hear of the passing of Neill. Neill was my manager in Mumbai, India and quickly became my mentor with his generosity in the development of my career in IBM. He encouraged me to get higher education at USC and later sponsored me for a six month hands-on-training stint at the Don Mills plant. My wife Birdie and I can vouch on behalf of each of our 300 coworkers at the Mumbai manufacturing plant that Neill was a mentor, coach, and guide, who helped build a foundation for a highly productive plant. God rest his soul. It seems like Ron Smith (January 8, 2018) and Neill, joined hands and went to their heavenly abode together! Peace to them. Please know that you all are in our hearts and prayers through this very difficult time. With our sincerest condolences God Bless. Anil and Birdie (Jambotkar)

Condolence: Dear Freda and Family, Marg and I extend our sincere condolences. I was able to watch the service on live streaming. Cambridge St. United is to be congratulated for installing this system. The story about the punch cards and the pigeons is typically Neill, having an answer while others are still wondering. Neill was one of my first managers at IBM. He was respectful, thoughtful and a good mentor. We also shared happy experiences at Hillcrest UC. I was pleased to talk to Neill and Helen at the IBM Christmas lunch in 2016. A great guy!!

Condolence: Helen, our deepest sympathies to you , Bruce and your family. I always enjoyed working for Neill. with him, and against him . He did great work as Mr. Distribution and I always held in him regard. Fond memories of him will always be with me. Sorry, that Barb and I could not make it today to pay our respects. BOB AND BARB BUTLER

Condolence: Helen - we were so sad to hear of the passing of your dad. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Condolence: To Mrs. McWilliams, Helen, Brian and Gord, I can only echo what my brother Rob has said. I was deeply saddened by the news of Mr. McWilliams passing. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

Condolence: Sheila and I are so very sorry to hear of Neill's passing. You would be hard pressed to find a more kind, gracious, and big-hearted individual. In my teenage years, when I was practically living at the McWilliams' house, I was always made to feel welcome. It was almost ridiculous how well I was treated when I dropped by. Whether it was a barbecue, swim, game of euchre, or just a chat in front of the television, Neill and Freda were always engaging and magnanimous hosts. When you got a chance to engage him, Neill's passion for soccer, golf, IBM, etc., was plainly evident. But what was crystal clear above all else, was his passion for his family, and especially, for Freda. The love those two shared was a joy to behold. I feel extremely lucky to have been in proximity to its orbit. To Helen, Brian, Gord, and your families, our sincere condolences on your loss. To Freda, our deepest sympathies on the loss of such a remarkable man and wonderful life partner. It is an honour to have known him.

Condolence: Helen, our sincerest sympathies to you and your family during this difficult time! The loss of someone dear to us is never easy. We hope all the cherished memories that you have of your Dad brings some light during this dark time. We will think of you and your family over the coming days and through the service on Saturday.

Condolence: I am truly saddened by this news. There is so much I could say about all the good times shared between the the McWilliams and Horsburghs throughout the years. Their interaction through the Church, all the social events, etc, etc. are filled with wonderful memories. My folks, if still with us, would have so much more to say. (I can hear my mom from here) Personally, Mr. McWillliams was instrumental in getting me hired at IBM, and for that, I am forever grateful. To Mrs. McWilliams, Helen, Brian, Gord and your families, my sincere condolences in this difficult time.

Condolence: Helen, Bruce and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It was a joy to work in the presence of Neill. We will never forget the warmth his smile brought to the office each and every day. Neill will stay in our hearts and memories

Condolence: Dear Freda and family, Nora and I send our deepest regrets and condolences to you. We shared so many great memories that were accrued over 60 plus years of friendship. These memories can never be replaced. Please stay well

Condolence: There is an old saying,he is a gentleman and a scholar,Neill was certainly that. It has been a pleasure knowing him all these years. Neill had a very big smile that would light up a room and make you feel happy. You will be missed my friend. Love Norma Solman & Family
