1938 ~ 2018
After a short illness, it is with deep regret that we announce the passing of Bill.
He leaves to mourn his passing his loving wife Carole of 54 years; son Chris (Susan), daughter Brenda, and son Wil (Brenda Lee); granddaughters, Brittany (Derek), Kayla (Jordan), Krystyn (Mike), and Jocelyn (Brandon); and nine great-grandchildren, Keanna, Brooke, Mylee, Declan, Aria, Liam, Tessa, Emma, Aceten.
Bill, for many years, was General Manager of Canadian Tire on Nairn Avenue. He then worked for Computer King as a sales rep. He was well known for his sense of humour, his love of life, his love of his family, his loyalty and compassion to family and friends, and all-around Mr. Fix It.
