With heavy hearts we announce William’s peaceful passing at the Ottawa General Hospital on Friday, March 27, 2026, just two days before his 74th birthday. William is now reunited with his beloved wife, Kathy (Giles) Furey, after many years apart.
He will be dearly missed by his loving children, Patricia, Jeff, and Mike Furey, and cherished by his grandchildren, Brittany Rooney, Tyler Wolstenholme, Courtney Zugaj, and Justin Foreman.
William is survived by his siblings, Roseann Brierley, Joan Zammit, Mary Lou Rubino, and Dean Furey. He was predeceased by his parents, Jacko and Dymphna Furey, and his brother, Gary Furey.
A graveside service will take place at Parklawn Cemetery, 750 Fountain Street, Cambridge on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. A Celebration of Life will follow at 4:00 p.m. at The Cambridge Newfoundland Club, 1500 Dunbar Rd, Cambridge.
