Bill passed away into the presence of his Lord at Chilliwack General Hospital on November 9, 2006. He was born in Lost River, Saskatchewan and grew up on the Prairies.
Bill left school in grade eight to work with his father in his blacksmith shop in Winkler, Manitoba and came to B.C. during the Second World War to work in forestry camps on Vancouver Island.
Later he returned to Manitoba, courted and married Lorraine then moved back to B.C. in 1950.

He will be missed very much by all.
