Peacefully, on Saturday November 23, 2024 at the Georgetown Hospital. Bill, in his 94th year, beloved husband of Marjorie (September 30, 2024) for the past 65 years. Loving father to Mark (Debbie), Bob, and Joanne (Brad). Loved grandpa of Brogan (Rob) and Connor. Great grandpa of Maggie Jo. Dear brother of Adah Gibbs. Bill was predeceased by his brothers Bob and Ron and sisters Christina and Margaret.
Bill was a teacher and a coach at the Georgetown District High School for many years and was known as a favourite teacher to many of his students and a "legend" to many of his teaching cohorts. Bill was an avid sports fan and enjoyed coaching basketball, football, hockey and rugby. Bill will be forever remembered by his family for his sense of humour, his spirit of adventure in the old camping days, his kind, caring and courageous nature, his intelligence and his love for his family.
Friends are welcome to join in celebrating the lives of both Bill and Marge on Thursday, December 12, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. at the Jones Funeral Home, 11582 Trafalgar Road, Georgetown. Visitation will commence at 10:00 a.m., and a reception in the Trafalgar Room will follow the service.
A private family graveside service will take place at Greenwood Cemetery, Georgetown where Bill will be reunited with his beloved wife Marjorie. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions to the Upper Credit Humane Society would be appreciated.
The family would like to thank the staff at the Georgetown Hospital for their exceptional care that they provided to Bill.
