At the July 16 meeting of Huron
East Council, the first since the
passing of former McKillop
Ward Councillor Bill Siemon,
Mayor Bernie MacLellan offered
some kind words on his fallen
friend.
He said there was a large council-
related turn-out at Siemon’s July 12
memorial service in Brodhagen, a
turnout that Siemon’s wife Vicki andhis family really appreciated.“I really enjoyed Bill’s service,”
MacLellan told his fellow
councillors, saying that he heard a
lot of stories at the service he had
never heard before, but that none of
them surprised him.
MacLellan admitted that when he
first met Siemon, he wasn’t quite
sure how to approach him and what
he was all about, saying that his first
impression of Siemon was that he
was “a grumpy old man”.As MacLellan got to knowSiemon, however, he could tell that
Siemon was a “straight shooter”
who “shot from the hip”. He
said Siemon was always willing to
research the issues at hand and
during a discussion, while he may
not have agreed with all opinions, he
certainly respected them.
MacLellan also pointed to
Siemon’s love of the environment,
saying that stewardship and
conservation were both causes thathad been very close to Siemon’sheart.
“When Bill worked for the
conservation authorities, he did it
because it was the right thing to do,”
MacLellan said. “He felt it was a
privilege, rather than a duty.”
MacLellan then asked councillors,
staff and members of the public in
attendance to join him in a moment
of silence to honour Siemon. For
the meeting a single white rose
and the card from Siemon’smemorial service were placed atwhat had been his spot at the council
table.
