GEORGE WILLIAM (BILL) LUCKHURST George William (Bill) Luckhurst passed away peacefully at home in Duncan, BC in his favourite recliner on July 8, 2013 at the age of 92. Bill was born on May 1, 1921 in Winnipeg, MB. Son of the late Mr. and Mrs. George Luckhurst and brother Bert. Beloved husband to Margaret Fairfield, loving father to Rick, Geoff (Margie), Doug, Nancy (Chuck) and Heather (Dennis) and many nieces and nephews. "Bumpa" to 11 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren who he adored. Special thank you to grandson Ethan for his loving daily care of Bumpa. Bill cherished his family, never missed a birthday and was always generous. After retiring from the U.I.C. Bill and Margaret settled in Matlock on Lake Winnipeg where they spent countless wonderful summers. Bill loved to drive and took his family on many exciting road trips. He was also an accomplished cook. Bill relocated to British Columbia after Margaret's passing, living in Victoria for many years before settling in Duncan. His quick wit, charm, and sharp mind will be sorely missed. This life for me is truly passed I've loved you all to the very last, Weep not for me, but courage take, And love one another for my sake. No service by request. In lieu of flowers, donations to your local SPCA in his memory would be much appreciated. Condolences at www.hwwallacecbc.com

Condolences & Memories (4 entries)

  • Sorry - I claimed Bill as an uncle. He is, of course my cousin. I remember lunch on the wharf in Victoria with him several years ago. He was a joy to be with. Marnie. - Posted by: marilyn young marshall (cousin) on: Jul 25, 2013

  • Dear Uncle Bill had a wonderful laugh and put up with all of us at family dinner. I will remember him fondly, Marnie. - Posted by: marilyn young marshall (neice) on: Jul 25, 2013

  • NANCY, CHUCK AND FAMILY, PLEASE ACCEPT OUR SYMPATHY IN THE LOSS OF YOUR FATHER. - Posted by: BARRY AND CAROL MOUNTAIN () on: Jul 15, 2013

  • Nothing ever seemed to ruffle Bill's feathers. I have so many memories tied up with "Unca" Bill (and Auntie Marg). My favorites are from when they lived on Brock Street and Kingsway across from Queenston School. Often, I would show up on their doorstep after skating in the schoolyard rink. I invariably ended up staying for dinner and playing with my cousins until I had to go home. Sadly, now that both Bill and Bert have passed on an important era has definitively ended.
