Bill Pearson passed away in Calgary, Alberta on Thursday, September 13, 2018 at the age of 87 years.
He will be sadly missed by his wife Phyllis; sons Kent (Irene) and Mark (Yvonne); daughters Lea (Jamie) and Christa; his grandchildren Brendan (Robyn), Natasha, William, Alanna, Andrew, and Cole; as well as his sisters Blanche (Orv) and Helen (Doug). He is predeceased by his parents Ellen and Oscar Pearson, his brother Bob, sister-in-law Betty and brother-in-law Jim Rowe.
He adored his children and grandchildren and loved the 17 foster babies he and Phyllis cared for. A lifelong educator, his favorite job in that role was that of guidance counselor to the many students he interacted with. In a life very well lived, Bill was a happy soul and an adventurer who made friends easily and everywhere.
The family would like to especially acknowledge and thank the health care workers at the Beverly AgeCare Center (Glenmore) and at the Rockyview General Hospital for all the care they provided Bill.
A Memorial Service will be held at Foster’s Garden Chapel, 3220 – 4th Street NW, Calgary, Alberta on Saturday, September 22, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. Memorial donations may be made in Bill’s name directly to the charity of their choice.
