THE BILL JOHNSTONE MEMORIAL PARK
Bill Johnstone January 30, 1949 - January 14, 2001

This park is dedicated to the memory of Bill Johnstone, a life-long resident of Sackville. Bill attended school, married and raised his children here. He worked at his family grocery store and eventually took over the business from his father. Bill operated the store for twenty-six years.
Bill was well known for his sense of humor, generosity, strong commitment to family, religious beliefs and his constant desire to help others. A strong supporter of Sackville's youth, he not only contributed to many organizations and special events but often worked quietly behind the scenes.
Bill touched the lives of every resident of this area in one way or another in a positive manner, and because of him our community is a better place to live.

Thank you, Bill.
