SCHUUR, William Henry Schuur

It is with deep sorrow and gratitude for a life well-lived that we announce the passing of  William “Bill” Schuur on December 18, 2025 in his 77^th year.

Survived by his wife Lynn (Dunham), his daughters Nancy, Chris and their families. His brother Peter, his sister-in-law Jane Dunham and he was a special Papa to Cane. Bill is lovingly remembered by many nieces and nephews.

Bill was born December 28, 1948 in Emerlo, Netherlands to Pietje Lulofs and Peter Schuur. He immigrated to Canada in 1959. Bill was employed as a Lineman for Ontario Hydro for 30 years until his retirement in 1998. Not one for sitting still, Bill soon found himself employed in the greenhouses at Rosa Flora.

Bill was an avid golfer, fisherman and a skilled pigeon racer. He was a familiar sight on his bike or on foot as he toured around Dunnville, greeting all passersby. He had a lively sense of humour and was always ready with a funny story or corny joke. Bill loved to sing and especially to harmonize. He was a past member of the choir at Knox Presbyterian Church and was known to make guest appearances in the choir at St. Michael’s Church.

Friends are welcome to join the family on Monday December 22nd at 11:00 am as a Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Michael the Archangel Roman Catholic Church, Dunnville. A reception and celebration will follow at St. Michael’s Parish Centre.
