Bill was born in High River, AB and spent his youth on the family farm in Okotoks. He was a proud veteran having served with the RCAF as a Flying Officer during WWII. Following the war, Bill and Marge settled in Edmonton where Bill enjoyed a rewarding 41 year career with Dowell/Schlumberger. He had a lifelong passion for aviation, curling and golf, and was an original member of the Derrick Club. Many of his retirement years were spent in Fallbrook, California.

The family extends its heartfelt thanks to Dad's caregiver Eunice.
