Bill passed away suddenly from a pulmonary embolism. He will be dearly remembered by his mother AJ, and his sisters Lorie, Janelle, Leslie and Mary. His father Jim predeceased him in 2005. His partner Karin, and her children Judy, Jill and Lambert will miss his love and support. We will all hold his memory fast in our hearts – his extra-large presence occupying space there. Visitation on Friday, February 27 from 4-8 pm at McEvoy- Shields Funeral Home, 1411 Hunt Club Road, Ottawa. Memorial Service in the chapel on Saturday, February 28 at 11 am, reception to follow. Please direct any donations to the Naismith Foundation, Yestermorrow Design/Build School, or the Independent Film Cooperative of Ottawa, three of Bill’s passions.
