Bill is survived by his brother Lawrence and sister Donna (Louis), sister-in-law Sylvia, son Monty (Tanya), daughter Larissa,, son-in-law Don. He is also survived by granddaughters Kaitlin and Kaylea, Zoe and Mia as well as numerous nieces, nephews and step-family.
Bill had two passions in life, operating heavy equipment and photography.
Upon retirement from the Town of Dryden Public Works, and after numerous illnesses, the second passion came to light. Bill could always be seen driving around in his motorized wheelchair, stopping to capture Dryden moments on camera. He amassed a very large collection of photo albums which he cherished immensely and loved to share his pictures whenever visitors would stop in. Bill also was an avid fan of the Dryden Entertainment Series, and as an annual season ticket holder, he never missed a show.

April 22, 2023 at 9:42 pmUnfortunately I just heard about Bill’s
I would see him all the time wheeling to Walmart.
When I could drop by to see him he always had a smile and we would talk about together at the city for many’s years He was a good friend and drop by my place every now and then with issues about his truck and I would fix him up. He took many pictures of my motorcycle and always had a copy for me. I’m going to miss his cheerful attitude.. He had a large collection on miniature cars covering walls in his house.
Rest easy my friend.
