Sad news for anyone who knew Bill. My prayers are with the family. He left a great legacy for Almonte as did his dad George. It was people like the Gommes that made Almonte The Friendly Town. God Bless him and keep him and comfort family and friends.

Bill was a great man.
As a rookie teacher at Ottawa Technical High School he was extremely helpful to me.
A better mentor would be hard to find.
I extend my condolences to the family.

Family and friends:
So very saddened to read the passing of loving father and brother. Unfortunately, we will not be able to attend the wake or funeral, however, we will be thinking of you during your time of grief.
Not only was Bill a common sense good guy, he was an individual of the highest standards in life. A pleasure to be associated in some small way, and always a pleasure to talk, joke and participate in activity planning.
Individuals of this stature are not born, but work their way through trust, dedication and commitment .
