Bill and his family immigrated to Canada from Wales on December 16, 1981.

Bill made many friends in Port Dover, Simcoe, Grand Bend, Kitchener, Cambridge, and all the other areas he resided in.

Professionally he worked for Stelco from 1982 – 2000 in the Hot Strip Mill at Lake Erie Works in Nanticoke. He loved Elvis and competed in several Elvis impersonation competitions. Bill proudly obtained a life goal of earning his Black Belt in Karate. While living in Port Dover, he enjoyed fishing, and enjoyed sharing that hobby with his daughter. Bill coordinated a dart league within Southern Ontario. While living in Grand Bend, Ontario, Bill and Christine would often go lawn bowling.
