Grandfather of 13 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren.

Bill will also be fondly remembered by his brothers Ted and Joe (Nancy), his sister Ann and many nieces and nephews.

Bill spent an accomplished 42 years with Bell Canada/ Yellow Pages retiring as Personnel Manager.

He fostered many careers and was lovingly nicknamed “Father Bill”, as his kind sprit touched many.
