SILVER, William Charles Chamberlain - May 10, 1924 - March 13, 2021
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Bill Silver (William Charles Chamberlain Silver), a gentleman, remembered as a kind man, that many had the privilege of knowing.
Predeceased by his beloved wife Betty (Moors) in 2009 and his sister Joan in 2011.
Loving father of son Richard (Susan), daughter Margot (Jacques), and son John (Sue).
Loved by his adoring grandchildren Andrew (Meg), Jennifer (Shawn), Mariette and Olivia, and by his great-grandchildren William, Anna, Cameron and James.
He also leaves his much-loved younger sister Kathy (Silver) Cadman.
Born to William Herbert Silver and Stella Davis, he was raised in Toronto.
At age 18, he enlisted in the North Nova Scotia Highlanders and was part of the DDay landing in Normandy.
His stint as a Prisoner of War in Germany is a story he shared only many years later, but after his return from the war, Bill began what was to be a lifelong career with the Bank of Nova Scotia.
This is where he also met the love of his life, Betty.
Bill was a lifelong supporter of his church, as well as being an active member of the Prayer Book Society, The Monarchist League of Canada and the Middle East Discussion Group.
The family wishes to express their heartfelt thanks to the dedicated staff of the Perley Rideau Veterans Residence for the incredible care given to Bill over the past 4 years.
A private family service will be held at the Beechwood National Memorial Centre.
Donations may be made to the Canadian Red Cross, a charity near and dear to his heart, or any other charity of your choice.
