WILLIAM (BILL) WHITE On Tuesday May 24, 2005, with family by his side, Bill peacefully completed his journey of life. He will be sadly missed and forever cherished by his wife Ingrid; his daughter Shelley and Russell Irving; son Brad White; four grandchildren, six great-grandchildren; brother Bob White; a niece and two nephews. Bill will also be mourned by his extended family, Fred and Deborah Bircham, Pat and Dennis Dandeneau, Lorraine and George Wright; seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Born on March 19, 1927, Bill grew up in Transcona, MB. After leaving school he worked in the Transcona CNR Shops where he learned his trade as a sheet metal worker. As a Journeyman, Bill shared his skills and knowledge as an instructor at the Stoney Mountain Correctional Institution until his retirement. The family cottage at Brereton Lake, which was built by Bill's father, was dear to his heart. The Lake was a special place for all that were close to Bill and a place where many memories were made with family and friends. Those that knew Bill will always remember his warm sense of humour, his genuine interest in others and generosity of his time. A memorial service will be held Tuesday, May 31 beginning at 2:30 p.m. at the Riverview Health Centre Chapel, 1 Morley Street, Winnipeg. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Bill's memory to the Riverview Health Centre Foundation, Unit CD4, 204-478-6197, where he was treated with kindness and dignity in his final struggle. The family would like to extend their gratitude to the staff at Riverview for their tremendous support and compassionate care.
