Laura,
You and Bill gave many of us the start to our journeys, our greatest opportunities and challenges, and you demonstrated the principles upon which to grow and succeed. We share in the sorrow of his loss though we can only imagine its magnitude for you and your family. Our hearts and thoughts are with you all and our gratitude to you both is equaled only in size to the caring and guidance you each embodied.
With sincerest of regards, respect and sympathy,
Adeline and Danielle
Dear Bill,
Although I have only had the good fortune of knowing you a handful of years since you asked me to join FLYHT's board, I am forever grateful to have witnessed your exuberant optimism, your boundless energy, your innovative spirit, your passion for our business, your mischievous grin when a great idea came to mind, and the love and care for your loyal team. You will be missed dearly, but we will make you proud. Rest in peace dear friend.
My deepest and sincere condolences to Bill's family, friends and fellow colleagues. My heart is with you all and may you find solace and peace in the abundant memories you shared with him.
Blessed be his memory.
Nina
FLYHT Chairman
Our sincerest condolences to you Laura on your loss. Our thoughts are with you, your boys and their families. Bill will remain forever in our hearts and in our memories. The early years of my career working with Bill was certainly one of the most developmental, fun and exciting times of my life.
To this day I feel honoured to be one of the many people that Bill and nurtured and supported in their careers. He was always great at sharing his wisdom in business but also equally in life. Your loss is felt by so many around the world. May you find some peace from the prayers and positive wishes that we are all sending to you and your family. With our love, Malcolm and Carolyn Crow
Bill, wishing you the smoothest of rides, tail winds and blue skies on this next leg of your journey.
“Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of – wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air....
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace.
Where never lark, or even eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
– Put out my hand, and touched the face of God."
On behalf of myself and Mike Fielding, absolute heartfelt condolences to Laura and the family. We were so lucky to know and work with Bill. Larger than life, all heart, smart, determined and always positive, super fun: I was blessed to have him at such a formative time in my 20s - and so was Mike. Bless you all.
We have known Bill for over 42 years. He has been a fabulous friend in so many ways over the years. He and Laura have provided friendship and support at the times that we needed it the most. The world will seem a poorer place without him around. Our condolences go out to Laura, the boys and the entire extended Tempany family. We will miss him a lot.
我记得Bill来西安的时候我们一起吃饭,他最爱吃炸羊肉,我希望Bill在天堂有很多中餐可以吃。

I remembered that we once talked about traveling to Tibet by train together, now I regret that we never make it happen due to COVID, however, I will go to Lhasa (Tibet) anyway, and will burn a incense in temple for you.
By Chinese culture, you are forever alive.

Sincerest condolences to Laura and all of the family. We remember Bill as a kind and generous neighbour with a dry sense of humour and a large welcoming smile. He lived life to the fullest and had many interesting tales to tell of his adventures. We will miss him.

Bill was an answer to prayer and changed the arc of my life when he hired me on the spot at Fintech back in 97. Thanks for being my angel back then, Bill ... I know you are watching over us all now.
Bill was a close friend for more than four decades and I will always remember him for his kindness, compassion and his love of Laura and the children. We worked together, socialized often and I have nothing but fond memories for such a good friend with such a great sense of humour.
I first met Bill more than 20 years ago. He had a big white Santa's beard and a wonderful outlook on business and life. He became a great mentor and business partner in the early years of FLYHT / AMS, and I am glad I got the chance to work with him and be a small part of his life's journey. Bill transformed businesses and he managed to transform himself as well. He has been taken from us too early and I for one will miss him.

I knew Bill for many years.
We met when he founded Fintech. We were always friends and shared a common understanding of the tech world.
I hope he is happy and can look forward to a wonderful afterlife.
Deepest condolences, Doug Evans
From the time I first met Bill, I was impressed not just by the technology his company, FLYHT, brought to the aviation sector, but by Bill’s vision and passion for improving the safety of airline operations for us all. The spirit of aviation in Canada has been driven by entrepreneurs like Max Ward and Bill Tempany. RIP Bill.
Bill was a friend and neighbour for the past quarter century. I will miss our chats over the fence. On behalf of Janet and myself condolences to Laura and the family.
I'm so sorry for everyone's loss. I was always so proud to be your cousin, such a great leader and vigorous personality. Memories in Exshaw, all your kindness and love, you will truly be missed.
God Bless, love to the Family Pauline, Sydnie & Sara xoxo
I only knew Bill for two years, but will always remember him fondly. He was so warm, kind, and gentle. He cared genuinely for all those around him, and it was obvious from the first instant I met him. I'm going to miss his smile, quick banter, laughter, and warm presence. Rest in peace Bill.
I'm so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I worked with Bill on the original design and creation of the oil and gas accounting software package that he so successfully marketed. That was over 40 years ago. We had some great times working (and carousing) into the night while putting that together. You have my deepest condolences.
I had the pleasure of knowing Bill for well over 3 decades on a business and personal friend level. We worked hard and we played hard... a truly unique and unforgettable experience. His endless optimism and drive to succeed got us through some tough times and influenced my life and work ethic in a very positive way. My sincere condolences to Laura and the family for your untimely loss.
Bill was a great leader, entrepreneur and mentor. He influenced the lives and careers of so many. He taught us to celebrate life’s wins. He will be missed. My condolences to Laura and the family
Bill you were so very special. We were so lucky to have had you in our lives. Your smile, your laughter and sunny personality lit up every room you walked into. We enjoyed every opportunity to be with you. Your energy and positivity were always contagious and you made everyone you came in contact with a better person. Thank you for all your kindness and love we will never, ever forget you.
Sandra, Dave, Michelle, Ada Perkins
I’ll miss our visits, your kind generous heart, and your wisdom. Most of all I’ll miss your sense of humor and that you just won’t be here. Sending love and know you will always in my heart. I’m fortunate to have had such a wonderful cousin and friend.
