Life Story
Growing up on the farm, Bill had a strong work ethic and worked on the Dominion Atlantic Railway for 35 years as Signal Maintainer and foreman. He was an athlete playing hockey and baseball and had a passion for fishing, hunting and trapping, but above all else, he was a fantastic storyteller. Bill had a passion for his home which he and his wife Joan designed and built for their family. For over 50 years, family and friends enjoyed the cottage he built in Granville Centre every summer.
