Bill was born in Wetaskiwin, Alberta on April 18, 1944 and moved with his family to the Leedale District in 1950. He worked hard on the family farm as a young man, a trait that would follow him throughout his life. He met, and then married Karon in 1967. They started their life together in Calgary for six years, moved to Red Deer for five years, then settled in Sylvan Lake in 1978 where he resided until his passing. Bill was a former member of his father's band, "The Silvertones", an extraordinary wood craftsmen, a fabulous traveling companion, and he had a fun sense of humor and played numerous pranks on his grandchildren. Bill was more than just a son to his mother, a brother to his siblings, a husband to his wife, a father to his children, grand/ great grandfather to the grandchildren; he was our friend. He was there for every one of us, whether we needed a house/ doghouse built, a table or door fixed, or a personal line of credit extended with no interest charged. He was not a religious man, but will have no trouble walking through the gates of heaven with his head held high and a confident smile knowing he had lived his life above and beyond standards.
