WILLIAM (BILL) LANDYGO Peacefully, surrounded by his sons and wife, Bill finally succumbed to his lengthy struggle with pulmonary fibrosis on Thursday, July 30, 2009 at 11:58 p.m. Except for his last few hours, Bill fought his battle from the comfort of home. He died in the Palliative Care ward at St. Boniface Hospital.

He was predeceased by his father Metro, mother Mary, and brothers Paul and Nick. Bill was born in Foam Lake, Saskatchewan on February 9, 1938.
