He will be missed by his many family and friends in the USA and Canada. Bill was predeceased by his father F. Gordon Kirby, mother Donna Lucille Ellis and brother Foster Ellis Kirby. He will be sadly missed by his dogs Cody, Charlie and Ben who he spent a lot of time with, taking them for walks and car rides.

Bill and Diane enjoyed travelling together on many trips and cruises. He loved to sit on the balcony and drink coffee. He also loved to travel to Billings, Montana where his family ran The Cherry Tree Inn, where he and Diane were married. One of Bill’s favourite destinations was Fort Smith, Montana where his Dad has a trailer where they loved to fish. Bill and Diane travelled there with the dogs to enjoy the peace and quiet. He also enjoyed going for coffee with many of his coffee buddies over the years. Bill will be sadly missed by all.

Due to COVID-19, a Private Service will be held at a later date.
