WILLIAM (BILL) DONALD MCCASKILL August 24, 1932 - May 19, 2008 It is with incredible sadness, that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved husband, dad, grandpa and friend, William Donald McCaskill (Bill) at his cottage on May 19, 2008. He leaves to mourn his beloved wife and best friend of 45 years, Marilynn; his three sons, Darcy, Don (Lyle) and Jason (Sherrice) and his grandson Alexander. Additional surviving family members include his sister, Lola and brother, Glen and several nieces and nephews. Bill was born in Gladstone, Manitoba where he grew up, farmed and met Marilynn. They moved to the Transcona in the 1970s to raise their family. Bill was devoted to and proud of his family. He always worked and never stopped fixing things, gardening or making home improvements. He was always in like a dirty glove with his sons on their many projects that included construction, repair or mechanics. He enjoyed being outside at the cottage. He truly loved his grandson Alex (four and a half years old). The two were inseparable when they were together. He loved life and didn't waste a moment. He will be greatly missed. A memorial service will be held on Monday, May 26 at 11:00 a.m. at the Transcona Funeral Chapel, 1800 Day St. with Rev. Fraser Hunter officiating. In lieu of flowers, if friends so wish, memorial donations may be made to the Winnipeg Humane Society, 45 Hurst Way, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3T 0R3. We love you Dad, you will always be in our hearts. Transcona Funeral Chapel in care of arrangements.
