A fantastic man. Deepest sympathy to all the family.
Growing up, I had 2 families…the Doran family, and the Dominoes family. My childhood, teens and adulthood were brighter because of the love, laughter and music which revolved around the band. The parties, fun, holidays and shenanigans. Bill pretending to play harmonica on the electric fire, while dad played piano, Emma played bongos and I drunkenly guldered at one of the many parties in our house, will forever be etched in my memories! Our lives were centred around music, laughter, and friendships which spanned generations and continents. Not many people are lucky enough to grow up with an extended, musical family but we were, and it was joyous. Bill was central and integral to that. His love, compassion, fun, wisdom, musicality and friendship were hugely valued and will be sorely missed. I sang with the band every weekend for years…there was never a disagreement, or a bad word…only fun, laughter, love, loyalty, silly hats and friendship. Bill was a wonderful friend to dad….and to countless others. To me, he was always, and will remain, ‘Uncle Bill’. I know how deeply his passing will be felt by his family, who he absolutely adored, and who in return, adored him tenfold. With love, Clare, Walter and family
A great man
