Dear Kellington Family,My condolences to you on the loss of Bill. I had the sincere pleasure of teaching at Glen Dhu while Bill was there. He was a genuine professional and a kind ,gentle person! He also didn't mind sharing with the young children that his birthday was on Valentine's Day...and they loved him for that! May he rest in peace and may you always remember all the great stories! Sincerely, Sandra Simmons

Dear Carol and family,
Our deepest condolences on the loss of Bill, your husband, a father and a grandfather. I fondly remember Bill during our Sunday nights and North Bay baseball games. He always injected laughter and a pat on the back to all regardless of how we played. He was a tremendous and respected administrator who was a "teachers' principal." He will be sincerely missed and will always be in our hearts. Cherish your memories.
Sincerely,
Fred and Diane Ruck

Hi Carol,
I just read about Bill's passing last night. So sorry Carol. Bill as many others have expressed was a wonderful and caring person. My Bill enjoyed playing sports and many laughs together. I will be lifting you up in prayer as you have lost your soulmate. Once things settle down, feel free to connect with me. My heart goes out to you. Terry

Remembered by me as a fair, honest man and educator, Athabasca Alumnus, Dave Dodds.

I beleive Mr. Kellington is the boy on the rightside  - of the 3 boys out at the front

My Dad - Palmer Knight- and Mr. Kellington grew up together - My Dad is in the back middle he is blocked a bit with the dark hair. 

I hope you enjoy the picture. Sorry No date on the picture - I would gather late 1940's 

My sympathies, Mr. Kellington was a kind, great, and gentle man. He was my principal at TR McEwen in 1983-84, and I enjoyed seeing him thru the years out and about. 

Kind regards and sympathy

Petrina Knight

Mr. Kellington was my principal at TR McEwen, in 1983 - 84 - he was a great and gentle man who will be missed

I remember him fondly and had seen him a number of times over the years out and about. Mr. Kellington always remembered me even before I reminded him who I was and who my Dad was - Palmer Knight - they grew up together. 

I will try to find and scan a picture I have of the 2 of them in a group shot that was taken MANY years ago - I believe it was for baseball 

Sorry again for your loss.

Jackie and I remember Bill from Ritson School days.  Bill always told me (Tom) that he taught me to write straight on the board.  In truth, he taught me much more.  He became one of the mentors who carried me through my career in education.  Thank you Bill. You will be missed.
Sincerely,
Tom and Jackie Collins

Dear Carol,
     I am so sorry to hear of Bill's passing.  He was a respected educator and administrator and for me a wonderful person to be around.  Having heard of him through John Hogg we met initially playing hockey and I remember enjoying his company after the game in the old Port Perry arena.  I appreciate and respect all that you did at Beau Valley.  You are in my thoughts as you continue through this difficult time.

My condolences to the Kellington family. Mr. Kellington was my Principal at Westmount Public School. He was a wonderful man who I admired and had the utmost respect for he was a kind gentle soul. Over the years he is one man I have mentioned many times as having been the best principal I ever had.

Dear Kellington family, so sorry for your loss. I remember Mr. Kellington from Conant Public School in the late 50's and 60's. I recall Mr. Kellington to be kind, gentle and attentive to us students. I believe I had gym class taught by him and I truly enjoyed our field day activities at the school as well as at Alexander Park. Those days at Conant Public school were the greatest, my older siblings also were taught by Mr. Kellington. I also looked after his mother Rilla, she was a very sweet lady. I was employed at OGH and Whitby Hospitals as a nurse and am now retired. Sincerely, Joanne(Cory)Anderson.

Thinking of you tonight prayerfully that you will be surrounded by the love of God and supported by his Grace.I am deeply saddened by the loss of your wonderful husband, Father, brother, grandfather and uncle. He posiitively influencedthe lives of thousands  of children in the Durham board ...what an amazing legacy!  I send you all my deepest sympathy and love at this very difficult time. God Bless. Kathy

Had a lot of good times with Bill. A prince of a man. Never heard a bad word said about him. He will be sorely missed. Carol and family, Marg and I are thinking of you.
