Bill always wanted to be a heavy equipment operator but was a truck-driver most of his life in addition to his time as a schoolbus driver. He had a pretty good baritone voice, competing solo in the Kiwanis Music Festival and singing in the church choir as a child. He played drums in a church youth group in his teens. He loved backyard campfires, motorbikes and music, hosting Saturday night Karaoke at the Englehart Motel for a couple of years. He had a big heart and big personality.
The ‘Ride for Sight’ and 4H Clubs were his favourite charities.
A memorial service at Tomstown Church will be announced later. Interment will be at Ingram Cemetery in the Spring.
