The Friends of Tinnerman/Tinnerman Guide Association is saddened by the news that a great long-time friend of Tinnerman Canoe Base, Mr. Bill Palmer Sr. of Hartley Bay House & Marina, passed away on Thursday, August 16, 2007.

He did much for the founding of the French River Delta Association and was a charter member. He will be remembered by the hundreds of guests he entertained and sadly missed by a community which he did much to create.

Mr. Palmer will be greatly missed by his family, his many friends and all who had the pleasure to meet him on the French River. Condolences may be sent to:

The Palmer Family
