Bill grew up on the IOCOside of Burrard Inlet. After high school he married Helen and they raised five children in the POCO area. He was active in minor sports, coaching lacrosse and soccer. In 1993, he bought and started the restoration of a low production number care a 1966 Plymouth Belvedere 426 Hemi to factory condition. He enjoyed his retirement touring around North America with his show car and sending winter in the warm California dessert.
He will be sorely missed by Brother Clifford, Wife Helen, Sons, Glen, Grant (Bev), Gregory, Gerald (Elizabeth) and Daughter Rochelle. He has seven wonderful grandchildren, William, Anne, Carter, Raffaella, Rebecca, Kierria, and Kira.
