Bill was born in Russia on November 12, 1921 and came to Canada at eight years of age. He grew up on a farm in Domain and later moved to Winnipeg after serving overseas in the Second World War. Dad returned home, learned a trade and spent most of his life doing sheet metal work, always ensuring that there was food on the table and a roof over our heads. After retiring Mom and Dad enjoyed many years at Camp Neustadt playing cards, visiting friends and feeding the critters that seemed to know when he was around. Dad also enjoyed woodworking, building many things for his family. Dad, you will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered. The family wishes to thank Dr. Kramer and all of the staff on 5E and 5B at St. Boniface Hospital.
