Condolence: To Rosalie and family, Dr. Allard was my family's doctor for 26 years and he took good care of all seven of us! My sympathy and love to you all. -Eleanor Gowans

Condolence: Dear Rosalie and family, When we read of Bill's passing, it brought to mind the many years when he took care of us, our three children and Phyllis' parents. I met Bill quite by accidents. I was sharing an apartment with two other MHS teachers across from the post office. The three of us found ourselves feeling pretty miserable one morning. I remembered seeing a doctor's sign on an office down the hall so in my pajamas with tissue in hand, I investigated to see if we could get an appointment. If I remember correctly, Lee Brown was the nurse. Later that afternoon, the doctor came to call. Two years passed and when Conrad and I married we decided it was time to get a family doctor and I remembered Bill. He guided us through three births and the usual bumps and bruises of parenthood as well as providing care for my parents. Blessings to each of you and a special thank you to Bill. Phyllis Rowell

Condolence: I was sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He spoke to me of his frustrating muscle acquired disorder. I enjoyed meeting some of the family at various times over the years. We had some common Rochester NY background, otherwise I viewed him as a real Vermonter. Our daughters were together at Camp Hochelaga on Lake Champlain years ago. We worked together in the 1990's and it was a pleasure to be with him. I am sure you will have good memories of him. Richard Ryder, MD, Shelburne VT & Naples FL.

Condolence: I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a dad is never easy as I know all too well. Have faith in knowing that he is in a better place. Probably listening to Frank Sinatra with my dad. Thinking of you all during this difficult time. Wendy

Condolence: Please accept my condolences for the passing of your dear loved one. When someone we love dies, the heartache and grief can be great. I hope that you can be comforted knowing that God cares for you and sees your pain. (1 Peter 5:7) "He is close to the brokenhearted and He saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:18) May you find comfort and relief during this grievous time, as you cherish the precious memories of William.
