Mr. William "Bill" Edward Moore

It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of William (Bill) Moore on Wednesday, June 12, 2013 at Ste. Anne Hospital at the age of 63 years.

He is survived by his loving wife, Elaine, children, Wayne, Sheryl (Craig), Darlene (Darren) and Jamie (Marianne); grandchildren, Zac, Carson, Ainsley, Rhayne, Whynter, Rhaven, Kelly and Saralyn. Also surviving are his sisters, Marlene (Dave), Anne (Dennis); brother Doug (Val), sister-in-law Colette and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Stratford and Rosaline, step-mother, Elsie, brother, Don.

William was better known to his family and friends as Bill.

Bill was born and raised in Morris, Manitoba on April 7, 1950. He met the love of his life and soul mate, Elaine, in 1968 and married in 1969. They raised their family in the town of Ste Genevieve and later moved to Transcona in 1987. He loved hunting, camping and fishing out at Nutimik Lake with family. Bill worked most of his life with Nelson River Construction until he took sick with emphysema. He was fortunate enough to be a candidate for a double lung transplant which he underwent in July 2001 and a second time in July 2003 as the first one rejected. Every day was a gift from that moment on. From many excursions that mom planned for dad from picnics, family gatherings, drives out to the lake, casinos, movies, shopping, you name it they did it. He loved watching the grandkids out by the pool, watching their sports (hockey, soccer, baseball) and enjoyed being with family. He also made time for the old boys club at Salisbury. Bill will always be remembered for his gentle nature, sense of humour, and smile.

We can never thank enough the long-time doctors and friends, Dr. Gobeil, Dr. Bshouty and his nurse, Claire. Also, the staff at HSC for the many years of care they have given Bill for the many appointments he had there or hospital stays, as well as recently the services provided by Dr. Bissonnette, Ste. Anne Hospital nurses, Sister Irene and Pastor Lewis.

A Memorial Service was held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 22, 2013 at Thomson “In the Park” Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Blvd.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Ste. Anne Hospital.
