Passed away on Wednesday, May 20, 2020 after a lengthy battle with heart disease. Bill loved his wife Anita deeply for over 52 years. He also leaves behind his two children that he loved fiercely, Jim (Jacque) and Jeannine (Don). His grandchildren, Brittany, Jasmine, Lenore, Alex, Madison, Mackenzie & Avery were his pride and joy. Bill lived for his family and shared that pride with anyone he met. Bill also leaves behind a plethora of “other kids”. He and Anita always had a houseful of their children’s friends over the years that they all considered him to be another “Dad” to them. Bill was predeceased by his parents, Jim & Bess, his siblings, Isobel & George and special brothers Howie & Brian. He was loved by many nieces and nephews. Bill was an entrepreneur in the printing business, and he believed it was a business’s responsibility to give back to the community. Over the years he was a member of the Kinsmen, Bancroft Fish & Game Club and Rocky Mountain Elk Federation, helping to restore Elk to the Bancroft area. He championed all people and animals. He had a love for all animals and nature. Bill was an avid outdoor enthusiast loving camping, fishing, hunting, boating, and snowmobiling. Bill was a quiet man with an ability to make those around him smile with his sense of humour. There was often a mischievous look in his baby blues. A private family visitation has taken place, followed by cremation. As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation would be appreciated by the family. Arrangements entrusted to M.G. Daly Funeral Home, Maynooth. (Cards available at the funeral home (613) 338-3259 or e-mail condolences to
