Bill attended QEDHS and then went on to further his education at the Manitoba Institute of Technology in Winnipeg, MB as an Architectural Draftsman. He moved to Edmonton, AB to work for Dominion Bronze as a draftsman and later as an estimator. Bill also managed a pet shop, Aquarius, in Edmonton.

Bill spent many happy hours with family and friends at his cabin of Botsford Lake. Bill has a keen sense of humour and loved to tease and joke (his sister will attest to this). He especially enjoyed kibitzing with the youngsters. A funeral service will be held on Friday, September 5 at 11:00 a.m. at the Garry Memorial Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Blvd., with Fr.
