Bill was born in Montreal, the oldest of 7 children and raised in northern Ontario. In 1941 the Hughes Clan packed up and settled in West Vancouver where he raised a family with his beloved wife of 63 yrs, Helen.
Bill loved his family and was very proud of their accomplishments. He was a fan of Star Trek and never missed a chance to have beer with the guys. He loved to travel, especially on his boat, Qu’appelle III and watching the harbour traffic from his window.
Bill is predeceased by Helen and survived by his daughters Jeannie (Peter), Cheryl, Susan and Nancy, grandchildren Beth, Colin (Kim), Jamie (Terra), Keely (Ale), 4 great grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews and brother Frank (Margaret) and sister Sheila.
Bill passed away at his home in West Vancouver with his family by his side. Strong minded to the end, he departed in peace. We’ll miss you, Dad.
