Bill is survived by his wife, Klaske “Carol” (nee DeBoer), who is currently residing at Huronlea Retirement Home in Brussels. Bill was surrounded by and shared a great deal of reminiscing and love with friends and family in the days leading up to his passing.

He will be deeply missed by nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family, and countless friends and neighbors.
