Sad news that Bill Miller, master canoe builder and founder of Fiddles on the Tobique passed away on Monday Oct. 3, 2022
I know there are members here have met Bill and will be saddened by this news.
There is some talk of an online service for Bill Tommorrw to coincide with the service in NB but there is no word yet.

I first met Bill in 2016 and went down every year up to covid
Bill was a very generous host and accepted all paddlers into his life and you always felt welcome whenever you would show up at his place.

Here is a David Jackson video of him

Here is Bill Enjoying music and friends at his home
