Dear Jean,

We have many fond memories of getting together our families for some laughter at your home.  I have photos of us and your dear Bill, ever smiling.
Bill was so proud of the children and grandchildren.  it has been awhile since we got together.  Last time was a visit in Pia's beautiful back garden.

With love as you all cherish your memories of a very fine husband, father, grandfather, colleague and friend.

My condolences to Mrs. Powrie and Family.
Dr. Powrie was the first person to welcome me as a graduate student. He provided me with many sage and encouraging advice at several ponts in my career.
I thank you for sharing him with us.
May you and your family be comforted and enjoy many moments of laughter and joy as you remember and celebrate his life.

I send my condolences to Dr. Powrie's family and close friends.  Bill was a very cheerful person, a good professor and very enthusiastic about life, students, UBC, the department and his many projects.  He will be sincerely missed by many people.  I remember how excited he was about the development of the soft cookie ('like the ones you take out of grandma's cookie jar') for commercial packaging and sales.

My deepest sympathy to Mrs. Powrie and family. Bill was a wonderful professor and friend. I will always remember him with fondness.

My Condolences to the Powrie Family.
Dr. Powrie was my mentor and thesis advisor for my Ph.D. in Food Science. He was always there to guide and encourage me, even when I lost my drive to finish
He was one of the greatest people I have met, and will always be remembered

My condolences to the Powrie family. Dr. Powrie was such a wonderful, down to earth and happy man, yet he had so much useful information about Food Science all in his head.  I am glad to have been able to work for him.  RIP Dr. Powrie!

Dear Mrs Powrie and family:
My sincere and deepest condolences to you Jean, and the family. Over many years as your student and a co-worker under your leadership, there are so many wonderful memories.  The Food Science community will miss you. Be rest in Peace, Bill!

Sincere condolences. Dr. Powrie was an inspiration, a great mentor and boss with an amazing sense of humour.

The food science community has lost a great mentor and friend. 

Dr. Powrie had a wonderful nature, and guided many of us throughout our careers. 

I have a fond memory of sitting in his office as he gave me advice that applied to my immediate situation, and I've applied to various life decisions since. The wisdom he shared went beyond the area of food science, and was much appreciated. 

With sincere sympathy,
Anne McCannel (UBC M.Sc. grad '88)

Dear Jean and family,
Dr. Powrie was an inspiring professor and a wonderful mentor.  We will remember his humor, the laughter that he brought to the halls of the MacMillan Building and Food Science Building at UBC and  the way he inspired us to do our best. He was a leader in the food science field in Canada.  With our deepest condolences on your loss.
