William Stark Tamblyn

March 7, 1941 - April 19, 2025

Bill died peacefully on Saturday, April 19, 2025 with his family by his side, after a short illness. Survived by his partner Linda Hansen, children Janne (Song), Nancy (Allan), David (Lisa), Cindy (Mike) and Tom (Anne-Marie), Tammy (Rick), Jay (Nicky), and Drew (Kelly), and grandchildren Christopher, Carmen, Peter, Ben, Ellen, Gillian, Alex, Owen, Bronwyn, Calvin, Holly, Gavin, AJ, Talia, Josie, Jac, Ben, Wescott, Lucas, Lucy, and Halle, as well as a large extended family. Predeceased by his parents, Mary Stark and Carlos Tamblyn, his wife Marie Kent, and his siblings Paul (Doreen) and Sharon (David).

Bill was born in Bowmanville and lived and worked in Orono for most of his life. He graduated from Bowmanville High School and the University of Guelph, and returned to Orono to live and work at Tamlane Farms. Bill married Marie in 1964 and together they raised five children until her passing in 2001. Later, he found happiness again with Linda and moved to Newtonville and then Cobourg.

He actively participated in his community, volunteering with Orono United Church, the Orono Fair, and as a 4-H leader with the Durham East 4-H club. Bill was a kind and gentle man who loved being a dairy farmer, especially in the springtime. In retirement, he nurtured his farmer instincts through a large garden and enjoyed when neighbor’s chickens helped keep it pest-free.

Bill loved to tinker and fix things, and often found joy in simple tasks like repairing doors or building birdhouses. He treasured relaxing outdoors with a good book and sought any sunny spot he could find. His favorite moments, however, were raising a glass of wine at lively family gatherings, surrounded by those he loved.

He will be missed so very much.

Donations: In Bill’s memory, donations can be made to the Clarington Food Bank.

Celebration of Life: Saturday, June 21, 2025 from 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM at the Orono Arena and Community Centre, 2 Princess St., Orono, ON L0B 1M0.

William Michael Chisholm

March 14, 1938 - March 25, 2025

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of William “Bill” Michael Chisholm, who passed away peacefully on March 25, 2025, after a brief battle with cancer. Bill leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and cherished memories.

Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Bill moved to Ajax at the age of 14. At 16, he met the love of his life, Doreen Price, and the two were married for 54 years until her passing in 2013. Together, they raised two children in Whitby, and Bill worked as a cement finisher before transitioning to a job at Sandra Tea & Coffee in Ajax, where he worked his way up to Shipping Manager. Bill and Doreen retired in 1999 and moved to Prince Edward County, where they enjoyed the peace and quiet of Pleasant Bay, along with visits from their children and grandchildren. They also spent many winters in Panama City Beach, Florida, where they made lasting memories with friends and enjoyed shuffleboard and social gatherings.

Bill was a kind and funny man who made lasting impressions on all who met him. He was known for his love of sports, especially hockey and golf, and he continued to play shuffleboard into his eighties. Bill was also active in his children’s lives, coaching lacrosse teams, umpiring softball games, and attending Girl Guide ceremonies as the only male in attendance in 1971. He enjoyed many hobbies, including camping, reading, word search puzzles, and listening to Glen Campbell's music. Bill was always there for others, whether it was building extensions for family members or helping neighbors with their driveways. Above all, Bill cherished his family and loved having them all together.

Bill will be lovingly remembered by his daughter Lynda (Brian), son Michael (Diane), grandchildren Ryland, Romy, Laura, and Carly, and great-grandchildren Noemi, Adeline, and Walker.

As per Bill’s wishes, there will be no funeral service. A private family graveside service will be held on May 24 at Brougham Cemetery, where Bill will be reunited with his beloved wife Doreen.

The family extends their heartfelt thanks to the doctors, nurses, and staff at Trenton Memorial Hospital, as well as the compassionate staff at Ed’s House Hospice in Cobourg.

Sharon had a laugh that was contagious and could put a smile on anyone's face. She had a passion for cooking, loved the outdoors, and spent as much time as she could camping and travelling. Her favorite pastime was going back home to St. John, New Brunswick, where many wonderful memories were made.

At this time, we would like to thank all the staff in the ICU unit who kept Sharon comfortable while she was in their care.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart and Lung Association.
