William Daniel Payne

Bill was born January 13, 1943 to Bill and Hazel Payne in Windsor, Ontario.

He attended Catholic Central High School in London, Ontario where he was a good student and achieved "all-star" status on the basketball and football teams. He went on to The University of Western Ontario where he received his business degree and enjoyed playing football. Just before graduating from university,

Bill married Patricia Organ and his first child was born shortly after that. Pat and Bill had four children: Kelly, Dan, Patrick and Michael.

After graduation, Bill joined a prominent auditing firm in Toronto where he achieved his goal of becoming a Chartered Accountant. He worked for many years in both Toronto and Vancouver where he made some life-long friendships. In 1981, he settled back in Vancouver to start a business with his brother Phil. Bill loved Vancouver.

He joined the North Shore Winter Club and started playing racquetball on a regular basis. He built some great friendships with the "racquetball guys and one gal".

Fishing was another love as well as golf - well not so much a love as a frustration!!! Bill was a hard working, athletic guy who loved a good party and to dance the night away.

Bill is now with his parents, sister Catherine and son Patrick.

He will be missed by his children Kelly (Murray) Lucyshyn, Dan (Jules) and Mike (Linnea); his grandchildren Jacob, Jessica, Rachel, Noah, Laura, Patrick, Dominic, Tristan, Liam and Braeden; his sisters Mary Margaret (John) Jarrell, Patricia (Norm) Damaren, Maureen (Rudy) Jansen, Martha (Mike) Tucker and brother Philip (Barb) Payne; brother-in law Bill (Mary) Kienapple and many wonderful nieces, nephews and cousins.

The family would like to acknowledge and thank the fourth floor medical staff at Lion's Gate Hospital for their understanding and compassionate care.
