William was employed at the Bay downtown Calgary as a butcher for 35 years. Later, he became co-owner of Bonton Meat Market and worked there until his retirement at the ripe old age of 80 years. William and Mary were involved in the Seniors Bowling League for several years. They also spent a great deal of time camping and travelling. One of his greatest joys was spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren.
