He met and married Gladys Doyle and started working for CP Rail. He retired after 38 years at the age of 60. Dad was an avid curler with the Branch No. 2 Legion and was very proud of his trophies. He enjoyed fishing, camping and tinkering with cars. Bill had a very outgoing personality and a wonderful sense of humour. His family was very important to him and thoroughly enjoyed his grandchildren. The family would like to thank the staff at Fred Douglas Personal Care Home and Seven Oaks Hospital for all their care and support. According to Bills wishes, cremation has taken place and a service will be held at a later date.
