Many years ago when Dr Bliss was a young GP I lived in Bradenstoke. My memories are of him travelling from Wootton Bassett to hold a weekly surgery in the village hall. He would arrive in his Morris Traveller with boxes full of all the villagers records (no computerised records then,) which he then carried into the hall. Patients would just turn up, take a seat and go in to see him when they deemed it their turn. He would never leave until all patients had been seen. Call outs were never a problem to him, he was a professional through and through. Many of the older people in the village didn't have transport and hence this service was provided. I was a few years younger than Dr Bliss but I have never forgotten the high regard in which the villagers held him and to this day I often quote the fabulous service he gave to us back then. I was saddened to hear of his 'Passing'.

Having worked for him for twenty one years Dr Bliss was the most considerate, kind, sincere and lovely person. He was my boss, GP and a very special friend. We have been in touch since we both retired, he will be sadly missed and my thoughts and prayers go out to Kate, Julia, Edward, Rosie and all his family. You will never be forgotten. R I P. Pauline

Wonderful role model as a GP trainee and young partner of what being a family doctor is about. Will be remembered with great affection. Marion

We are so very lucky to have had Bill in our lives, such a kind , gentle , caring and wise man. He was an inspiration to many and will be sorely missed. He lives on in you and those he has affected around him. His family was the centre of his life. Try and focus on the good memories and happy times. Find that favourite photograph- with that amazing happy smile, and keep that with you to block out the vision of that last couple of days. our thoughts and love are with you all. Mary

Thank you for setting up this memorial to William. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
