WILLIAM "BILL" JACOBSON August 19, 1941 - June 4, 2004 It is with great sadness and sorrow that the family announces the passing of their beloved husband, father and brother, Bill Jacobson who went home to be with his Lord and Saviour on Friday, June 4, 2004. He was predeceased by his parents Elof and Martha Jacobson. Bill leaves to cherish his many memories his wife Margaret of 36 years; his son Bryan (Heather) daughters, Carol, Carla; sister Beryl; sister-in-law and brother-in-law Rose Marie and Edward Messaros and many nieces, nephews, cousins, as well as many dear friends. Bill began his career with Transport Canada in 1961 and enjoyed 35 years employment at various locations. After retiring, he continued to enjoy regular outings with his work buddies. He accepted the Lord as his Saviour as a child at the Talbot Mission Sunday School. Various church involvements were a meaningful and significant part of his life. Bill enjoyed golfing, woodworking, and being on the "leading edge" of computer technology. Most of all though, he enjoyed being with his family. Bill had a laryngectomy in 2001, but did not allow this change to affect his wit and optimism. He developed many friendships through his involvement with the New Voice Club. Our special thanks to CancerCare Manitoba and the St. Boniface Palliative Care Unit for their care and support. A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, June 7, 2004 at Winnipeg Evangelical Free Church.
