Bill Doll passed away peacefully on October 25 at the age of 96. Predeceased by his eldest grand-daughter, he is survived by his 5 children and 2 remaining grandchildren.
Bill was born to Anthony and Magdalena Doll, and raised on the family farm in Fairview Alberta, as one of 11 children.
He studied Medicine at University of Alberta, and completed a residency in Anesthesiology at Vancouver General Hospital. He worked as Chief of Anesthesia at St Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver until 1993, whereupon, he worked part-time at various hospitals and clinics until 2002.
Bill skied into his 86th year, and enjoyed climbing hills on his bicycle, often out-distancing his companions. He hiked his local trails of Capilano Canyon up until the last month of his life.
He was an avid reader, and particularly enjoyed reading about history, while listening to classical music.
