With heavy hearts, the family announces that Bill passed away peacefully at Almonte Country Haven on Sunday morning, June 8, 2025. William Frederick Parsons, a longtime resident of Braeside and Arnprior, was 88 years old. Bill was the loving husband of Linda (nee Schlievert), and the cherished father of Michael (Helen Proulx) and Valerie Parsons (Tim Burnette).
