Dear Jen, Marg, Cathie & Peter—such a personal & caring tribute for such a special person. Bill was a wonderful person with very strong values —obviously inherited by his lovely family. The end of an amazing Aitken era —looking forward to an extended family get-together to celebrate his life. Love & thoughts to you all —Barb & Suzanne & families
What a wonderful service for a kind and generous man, i can see his traits in all of you. I shed a few tears at the family photos and did laugh at some of your stories what a great life your mum and dad gave you.
Much love to you all and hopefully a catch up to celebrate your wonderful dad is not far off,
Christine & Woody
To Jenny, Margaret, Cathy and Peter thank you all for allowing us to be with you as you shared your indivdual experiences of having Bill as your Dad. By the time we moved into Long View Rd you had all left home, so your memories were especially poignant. We were privilaged to enjoy extra time that your Dad had once he was retired. Bob was always up for a chat with Bill when the garage door was open and he could hear your Dad fixing something.
Your folks also kindly allowed us and our two children to enjoy a short holiday at Apolllo bay, so we could visualise your holiday memories when there. It was good to be with you all in spirit today and we know the legacy of your parents values are in good hands.
Sincere condolences from us both Liz and Bob
A very beautiful tribute today for a very special person. You have all definitely inherited many of Bill’s loving and caring traits. Looking forward to catching up & having a glass or two of a good red to celebrate his life.

Hi Jenny, Margie, Cathy and Peter
Such a beautiful service I laughed and I cried. Wonderful memories of Heidelberg, canoeing on the Yarra , camping at the Prom. Photos were a beautiful story and the bag pipes so special.
May you cherish all those wonderful memories. The end of an amazing era.
Take care

Wonderful tribute to a wonderful man. Loved the stories and the photos celebrating a great life. Looking forward to the day when we can all get together and give Bill an extended family celebration and send off with you all. Best wishes and sympathy, with love from John and Marie in Warracknabeal.
You were all wonderful sending love and hugs.
It will be lovely to catch up again as it has been far too long.
Keep safe and well.

A truly beautiful service. The love your father both gave and received in abundance shone through. Bill sounded like he was a wonderful man who lived life to the full; a fitting tribute.
