Predeceased by his loving wife Ruby, his parents, Ian and Mary and sisters Aileen and Eva.

Bill had a kind heart and was always willing to lend a hand to someone in need. He was known for his sense of humor and his smile.

Bill worked in the logging industry until the mid 1960s where he then relocated to Vancouver. He went to the University of British Columbia and became a Professional Mechanical Engineer. After graduating, he worked for Chevron Canada for 29 years, until his retirement. He enjoyed his retirement golfing, traveling in his motorhome and spending time with family and friends.
