William lived life to the fullest, always keeping himself occupied with endless hours working on his farm or flying all over North America having obtained his private pilots license in the 1940s. In his retirement, William spent his time perfecting his immaculate garden, spending time with his grandchildren, and woodworking anything anyone could ever imagine. He put everyone else's needs before his own, making sure that his family had everything they could ever need, even if it was simply a shoulder to lean on. William will be remembered for his kind and patient spirit and will be so dearly missed by everyone who knew and loved him. The family would like to extend their sincere thanks to Richmond Terrace, 3 West for their wonderful care. As per William's wishes, cremation has taken place.
