Those hands were never idle.
They were strong.
They fixed.
They held.
They welded.
They built.
They tinkered.
They were worn.
Those hands were happy working.
They were clever hands,
And now….they rest.
Our beloved Bill may not be here
However he has not gone
He is in our hearts now
Where he will remain
Shed a tear if you need
Remember we are family and friends
Share the memories, the joy, the laughs
And don’t let them end
Bill had a long and good life
And was grateful for all that he had
May he rest in peace.
Rest in peace Bill..you helped so many..your kindness will not be forgotten …your work on earth is done

Pop,
You will forever be one of my favourite people. We were so lucky to have you in our lives and for so long.
I never felt the 53 year age gap between us as we talked and argued about finance, politics and what was happening in the world.
The Radley traits live on in us, and we will cherish the memories we have with you.
You were so proud to be a great grandfather and Nova and Elvie just adored you.
Love always,
Leanne, Nova and Elvie
Bill- a man of wisdom and integrity who was always on the go doing some job or project.
A self confessed ‘ yapper ‘ you were always up for a chat or a debate and often lamented that things were not as good as they were in former years. The world was a far better place having you grace it . Rest in peace Boss.
Roger
Bill,
I had the pleasure to meet you through Ian and Tahlia.
I will remember how welcoming and kind you were, I’ll miss hearing your stories.
They say it’s hard to forget someone who gave so much to remember. You are gone but never forgotten Bill.
Rest in peace
Bill was a terrific mentor in my youth, he probably kept me out of jail. Wonderful memories of one of the most wonderful men who ever graced this earth. Thank you Bill for all you did for me 50 plus years ago. Always loved and always will be remembered. Forever grateful for his contribution to my life. Andrew Alstin
Pop,
You were the centre of our family, the person we all gravitated around and the one who kept us together.
You gave us all love and support, filled us with your wisdom and incredible stories of your life.
With your passing we lost that centre but our memories of you will never fade and will continue to hold us together.
You are already greatly missed.
Love always,
Tahlia.
Bill, I met you when you and Claire came into the cafe at Formosa nursery. It was a lovely surprise to find out you knew my family from cavendish. I would always look forward to seeing you when you popped in for coffee and lunch.
You were always so kind and always had a story to tell.
I feel very honoured to have met you.
Rest in peace.
Leave your tribute for Bill William John Radley
