A statement released through police said:William came from a big extended family and he will be sorely missed by all who knew him. He was well-known as a larger than life character and always had a big smile on his face." He was very close to his sister, they did everything together. You would just always hear him laughing, he was popular with everyone, had lots of friends and was a devoted partner to his girlfriend.'' Mr Sangster was a farm worker and loved the outdoors, the family added.Farming was in his blood. He much preferred to be outside working with his hands than being indoors." Latterly he was working at Blackhills Farm at St Fergus but he worked for many of the local farmers. He loved it, it was what he lived for."He was brought up in a farming environment and always adored tractors from a young age. He bought his own Grey Fergie tractor which had been his pride and joy.''
