We are sorry to hear Bill has passed away.. and he will be sadly misssed by freinds and family.Cherish all the great memories you hold from the past years. The Woychuck family were our close neighbors during my years growing up in Skylake.I have many fond memories of our elememtary school days with Robert and Stanley while attending Sambor School. Bill was an friendly and sociable man and he was always active in the small communtiy. I still remember clearly when he bought the brand new.. flashy bright blue /white Chevy..with the wings..and at the time..it was quiet a flashy car for our little communtiy. We hoped for an ride in it..some day...and it did happen. May he rest in peace.. - Posted by: Irene and Eric Bechert..Edmonton...nee Tataryn ( ...a Sky Lake neighbor.) on: Aug 02, 2015
