More sad news from Picton. Bill Greer, president of the Prince Edward County Pumpkin Growers Association and one of the top Giant Pumpkin growers in the world passed away this afternoon (June 1st) in the hospital in Picton Ontario.
Bill was diagnosed earlier this year with ALS (Lou Gerhig's Disease) and it's progression was very rapid. He and his sons had planted their pumpkins into the garden about 2 weeks ago. Bill will be sadly missed by his wife Margeurite, daughter Janinne (& Andre), sons Bob( & Paulette), John( & Kelly) and Pau(& Sandy) their many grandchildren and their friends and fellow pumpkin growers around the world.
