Serving in Europe during WWII, Bill was a member of Sherbrooke Fusiliers Regiment from 1941-1945. After a sheet metal trade career in Manitoba and Northern Ontario, he retired in Barrie. Bill was a gentle man, devoting his life to his family. He was immensely proud of his children, and was always pleasantly amused at his great granddaughters' boundless energy and antics. His quiet and kind presence will be greatly missed. Private service to be held. In lieu of flowers, a donation to Heart and Stroke Foundation or charity of choice may be made.
