It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of William at Oak Ridges Hospice, Port Perry, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Bill was born and raised in the St. Michel district of Montreal.
He attended John F. Kennedy High School and completed his studies at Concordia University School of Business.
He had a long-standing career with Air Liquide Canada Inc. in Montreal, Burlington and Edmonton. Upon retirement he moved back to Ontario and lived in Pickering for the past 11 years.
Bill was a caring person who enjoyed spending time with family, especially with the “little ones”. He loved music, movies, the latest technology, electronics and photography.
He is predeceased by his parents Juliana Egger and Paul Nahirny.
He will be missed and fondly remembered by his sisters, Amalia (late Ludwig Huss) and Mary (Frank Biringer) and by all who he leaves behind. He was uncle to Manfred (Sigrid), Ingrid (Ken), Richard (Kendra), Stephen (Katie), Lisa and great-uncle to Kristina, Stephanie, Elyssa, Michael, Adalyn and Brielle.
A heartfelt thank you to his nurse Jaclyn Pagnotta, Dr. Pedretti and to his dear nephew Richard for their care & dedication during his illness. Gratitude is also extended to the compassionate staff and volunteers at Oak Ridges Hospice.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday, November 7, 2025, at St. Edmund of Canterbury Church in Beaconsfield, QC.
(Visitation 11:00am – Mass 11:30am – Reception 12:30pm)
