Bill is survived by his beloved children, son Kerry (Diane), daughters Tammy (Nick), Shelley (David) and Tania. Grandchildren Braiden, Chelsea and Nathaniel and partner Joyce. His sisters Anne (Arnold), Laura, Ruby (Glen), Edith (Sam), Pat (Bob) and brother Jim (Gloria).

Bill was predeceased by his wife Florence in August 2004, parents Delia and Albert, brothers Doug, Russell and sister Doreen. Bill was born in Eriksdale on April 28, 1950. A sibling of 10 children, he spent many days helping out with chores on the farm or under the hood of a vehicle. He moved to Winnipeg at an early age where he began work with Reimer Express from which he retired after 43 years of service. He received numerous awards for his safe driving record. While Bill was a hard worker, he looked forward to his weekends. You could always find him strumming his guitar at get-togethers or enjoying a drink with his family and friends on his deck at Miami Beach, his home away from home. Bill will always be remembered for his kind and gentle manner, his infectious laugh and his many long, drawn out stories. He will be loved and missed forever.

When I married Chris and became part of this wonderful crazy family, Uncle Billy was the person who constantly said "how's my 1995 niece doing?" every time he saw me. He had an infectious laugh and the most incredible loving heart. He will be deeply missed by all. My heartfelt sympathies and love go out to all that knew and loved him. Rest in peace Uncle Bill. Love you - Posted by: Paula Hofer (Niece ) on: Jul 08, 2013

Many, many years ago, Bill came to my home for a visit. I hadn't been able to reach him to say not to come because I was sick. I had had a wisdom tooth extracted that morning and quickly developed a terrible infection. Bill spent about six hours taking care of me. He didn't leave until I finally drifted off into a deep sleep. We were very young at the time and to think a young man of maybe 20 would spend his entire Friday evening literally caring for a sick friend was almost unheard of. In all the years since, I have never forgotten Bill's kindness and caring. Condolences to Bill's entire family. Especially to Edith. I used to work with Edith and we became friends for a time. Rest well, Bill. - Posted by: Margaret (McCann) Chase (A friend from over forty years ago.) on: Jul 06, 2013
