Called to god in his 80th year surrounded by family after a brief and courageous battle with cancer. In his youth he was promising hockey player but chose to enter the priesthood and served several parishes in the diocese of Thunder Bay. he and Sue were married in 1972. He worked as Assistant Administrator at the Oxford Regional Center in Woodstock, Ontario. Their sons Brodie and Ben, daughter Nikki and the their extended family mourn his passing.
Sue's good friend, Diana said:
"There was a beautiful Mass held in Bill's honor, followed by a reception at the Golf and Country Club in Cambridge, Ontario on October 28, 2006. I was privileged to attend and to be there for my Friend Sue. I will always hold Bill's memory in my heart as I loved him as a brother and a friend."
In talking to Sue on Thursday, November 9, I asked what she would like to share with us about Bill. In no particular order: "He loved doing baptisms: He loved spending time with the kids: he loved all kinds of music--lots of jazz, big band-- but what an eclectic collection."
May he rest in peace!
