Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryWILLIAM ARTHUR WHITMAN (BILL) April 18, 1945 September 3, 2008 After a long battle with illness, Dad is finally at peace. Loving and missing him are his wife of 42 years, (Betty) Elizabeth, children Darlene (Jerry), Rod (Melissa), Bill (Marni); his grandchildren Jennifer (Keith), Tina and Zack, great-grandchildren Trinity, Kayla and Mia. Born in East Preston, Nova Scotia, Dad traveled to various cities where he met his wife and created a life in Barrie, ON. With his many skills and ability to do anything he set his mind to, they came to Winnipeg and started a new adventure in life. Dad was the person you would call whenever you had a problem with anything. If you needed something fixed, you asked Dad. He was a great teacher with patience when it came to his family, whom he loved dearly. According to his wishes, there will be no memorial service, but a celebration of life will be held on Saturday, September 20, 2008 at his residence in St. Pierre, MB. In lieu of flowers please make donations to The Lung Association Manitoba, 629 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3A 1P6. Arrangements by Birchwood Funeral Chapel 1-204-346-1030 or 1-888-454-1030
