WILLIAM (BILL) GALLWEY April 16, 1958 - June 16, 2006 Peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer Bill has passed away. In keeping with Bill's wishes a cremation has taken place. He was predeceased by his father Allan in 1976. Bill is survived by his sons, Eric (Trish) and Gary (Kathleen) and also by his mother June and his sister Julie (Rene) and his niece Janice, also by many other family members too numerous to mention but not forgotten. Bill graduated from Churchill High in 1976. He worked for the Winnipeg Free Press as a senior district manager. He later went into the trucking industry and worked for Direct Express, formerly Canada Messenger. Later Bill went to work for Merit trucking and continued till his illness in 2005 prevented him from continuing. Bill in his early teen years was a member of the Winnipeg Chapter No. 1 of the Masonic Demolay. He was a proud scout leader and an active force for the 1st St. Norbert scouting group for many years. Bill loved his time at the cabin at Grand Beach and spent many happy times there with family and friends. The family would like to express their heartfelt thanks to the Scott family (Evan (Scottie) Debbie, Alex and Mike) for opening their home and hearts to Bill and the loving and compassionate care given to Bill during his illness.
