Bill was an all around good guy , boss and friend, a person who helped me tremendously!  My condolences and well wishes to his entire family.
 Sam Gassira 

It is hard to imagine a world without Bill's eternal optimism, his unshakeable peacefulness, and his abiding care for his family and friends. I will never forget the remarkable way he had of always making people feel at home at Focaccia. I cannot thank him enough for his friendship. It is something I will value and remember for the rest of my life. He has left to us all a great legacy of kindness, care, understanding and empathy. Thank you, Bill.

Dear Jen,

Martin and I are so very sorry to hear of your loss.  We have happy memories of Bill  in his restaurant -- welcoming us in, serving us up delicious food, sharing a laugh.  The last time we saw you guys was when you visited us in Halifax shortly after Alexandra was born.  (We should have let Bill cook, as the food was not so good, as I recall.)  What I do remember was how much Bill loved being a father, and how much he adored you.  We send our deepest condolences to you, Alexandra, and Michael.

Meghan and Martin

We are so sorry for your loss.
We will all miss Bill, he was a true gentleman and a kind neighbour.

Kindest regards,
Greg & Tamara

We have never met, but I just wanted share my sincere condolences  over the recent passing of your husband and best friend Bill.

Bill was one of the most genuine, caring, loving persons that I ever met and I am positive that he will be missed by his entire family, friends and community in which he touched.  

May God grant you and the family peace during this very difficult time of loss.  Please know that you will be in our thoughts and prayers.

We send love, courage and strength to all of you during this very difficult time.

With deepest sympathies, 
The Kanfer family




I came across Bill a couple of years ago at Focaccia. It turns out that we were the same age and grew up as kids in the same Boon St Clair West neighbourhood. We had many great chats over the past years over lunch at the restaurant, and his mother even remembered me as a kid.  Great experience any time that I took my construction comrades for lunch. Bill was very personable and a king of service.   All his clients agreed that Focaccia was a special place because of him and his family service.  Will miss you Bill. 

Dear Maria and family, 
We are so sorry to hear about Bill's passing. We are all extremely sad and heartbroken for the family. Bill was such a wonderful and likeable person. We are sending you lots of love and strength during this difficult time. 
From The Cooper family and the Brass Rail staff

To all of Bill's family

I just learned this morning of Bill's passing (and of his father-in-law's).

My wife, Oksana, and I first met Bill late in 2003, when he was preparing to open Bloom restaurant in our neighbourhood. It has been our favourite restaurant, and have eaten there many times over the years.  Although the food is always excellent, it's been the welcoming atmosphere that Bill and Franca created that made it more than just a place to eat. We felt at home, and always looked forward to Bill's warmth and smile.

A few years ago, when we had  a  special event, and asked Bloom to cater it, Bill & Franca  more than generously donated the food and service.

We have been lucky to have enjoyed Bill's presence in our life, and will miss him greatly.

Our deepest sympathies to all of his family.

Dear Iuele family,

It is with great sadness that we write this. Bill, Maria and Franca were there for our family during a very difficult time in late 2018. Their kind words, constant presence and shoulder to cry on were so comforting to us. It didn't matter that we hadn't seen each other in years, it was as if no time had passed.  

Bill was taken much too young but his legacy will live on in his children.   His kindness and friendship will live forever in our hearts.

Our sincerest condolences to the entire family. 

Much love,
Anna, Francesco (Frank) & Rachel Arabia



Hi Jennifer and family,

God is near to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Hi Jennifer,

So sorry to hear about your lose.  I'm sure your husband and father will be remembered fondly by you and all the lives they have touched.  
May you always hold on to those cherished memories in the days and years to come and may they bring you joy and comfort.
 We all look forward to the bible's promise found at Rev 21:3,4 where it says, 'God will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.  The former things have passed away'.

My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

Sincerely, 

Sandra Grant

Nothing can ease the pain of losing such an integral part of your lives but hopefully in time your memories and the love  you've shared will give you strength to carry on.  Much love to you all.  Xoxo

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Bill.  Although I only met him a few times I remember his lovely restaurant and how he cooked and served his patrons with his heart.  I remember the last time I was there I told him how I thought Jennifer was an amazing person and his face lit up and he agreed, so sweet.  


Dearest Jennifer,

I am in disbelief over you and your children's loss.  Especially during this difficult time in the world when you have been a shining star to so many and have helped so many of us. You do not deserve this tremendous loss, and I am deeply sorry.   You move through life with a smile and with such grace and you spread your joy to so many, I know you will find your strength to put one foot in front of the other again.   But in the meantime, if you fall, we are all here to pick you back up again. 

Please accept my deepest sympathies. 

Love, Marisa B

My sincere condolences to the entire Iuele Family.  Bill was a special human being who will be truly missed, he always had a smile to share.  Although we did not see each other much over the past years, whenever we did reconnect it always felt as if no time had passed.  Rest in peace my friend, thanks for the gift of your friendship.

Dear Jennifer, Alexandra, and Michael,
Our condolences to you all during this heart-breaking time.
You (and the Uiele’s) are such a beautiful family. We have never met a gentler, kinder and more spiritual soul, than Bill. 
He was one-of-a-kind.
Jenn, Alex, and Michael- Bill was so proud of you all and loved you so very much!!! The important things in life [family and friends, lovingly-prepared food (usually accompanied with great wine!!)] were what mattered most to Bill.
His passing was such a sad shock as we saw him just the night before, while we were out walking the dog. Bill pulled over the car and we had another wonderful, socially-distanced conversation, with him and Michael. This time, we were complimenting him on the great food he had just catered for our family. His face melted into that beautiful, wide smile of his. With further mention of Jennifer and the children, he just beamed.  What a beautiful light, he emanated!
We will always be grateful for your prayers and support and now we offer ours to you at this sad time. 
May God Bless You and your family.
Love,
Supriya, Brett, Veda, and Kiran

Much love,
Gabe & Leila

Sincerest  condolences to you and your family on the loss of your husband.  Praying for peace, comfort and strength during this difficult time. 

Dear Jennifer,

I just heard the sad sad news about your husband’s passing.  
I am in shock and still in disbelief.  
How can something so tragic happened?  To be plucked from a loving family and for his mother to deal with the loss of a child is unthinkable.  I know, there’s no answer to this but I wish you and your family condolences. 

I know you are a strong person but please have some self-care and my love to your beautiful children. 

Hoping prayers, friends and family will help you get through this.
🙏🙏🙏

Cindy Ma

Our deepest condolences to the Iuele Family; Jennifer, Alexandra  and Michael, Franca (Luis), Carm (Pina) and Mamma Maria.  We are so heartbroken for your loss.  I don’t think reality has set in yet.  As all of the beautiful sentiments and shared memories illustrate, Bill was a very special person to many.  We go back many years, to our old St. Clair neighbourhood, Oakwood C.I., and even worked together at the original Focaccia.  Through the years, Billy never changed.  What you saw was what you got.  And what we got was a kind, engaging and loving person.  Simply put, a good guy.  A GREAT guy.  He always had a joke or an interesting thought or question.  He was a “people person” who made connecting with anyone seem effortless.  In tough times like these, we need more people like Bill.  He will be missed terribly, but never forgotten.   

Rest in Peace brother,

Mike Sarnese and Sue Marsili

Dear Jennifer,

I was so saddened to learn about the passing of your husband Bill. I wanted to share with you two thoughts. I had the privilege of meeting Bill on a few occassions while dining at Focaccia. From those few interactions it was so evident he loved you!! Bill was so smitten and proud of your accomplishments.
Secondly, to this day my husband and I still reminisce about the wonderful meals we had at Focaccia. Maybe I don't get out much but nothing has ever come close to those meals we had. 
There is no doubt in my mind Bill leaves a lasting legacy on the Toronto food scene and thats is something to be very proud of!

Wishing you much strength in this difficult time.
