WILLIAM (BILL) HUGHES Peacefully on October 7, 2017, Bill passed away at his home in Winnipeg at the age of 91 years. Bill was predeceased by his loving wife Margaret; his parents, Margaret and Thomas; his brother Thomas and his sister Audrey. He is survived by his sister Jacqueline and brother Howard as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Bill had a special bond with his nephew Paul and his great-niece Danielle who was his guardian angel. Bill served in the Navy in the Second World War. He worked as a machinist for the CNR. He was a member of The Shrine Khartum Patrol and had been an avid golfer most of his life. Summers spent at Falcon Lake with family and friends were cherished times, as were the winters spent in Mesa Arizona. He always enjoyed his vacations in Hawaii. The family would like to thank the caregivers Bill had at the Victoria General Hospital during his many visits there. We would also like to thank the home care aides and nurses who cared for him at The Parkway and the workers who previously cared for him at Seine River. Without them, Bill wouldn't have been able to stay at home. A private family service will be held at a later date.
