Bill passed away peacefully at the Carleton Place Hospital with his wife of 49 years, Lenore, by his side. Predeceased by his first wife Marlene Tyers (1970).

Predeceased by his grandson Michael, he leaves behind his grandchildren Marlene Francis (Tyler), Marlese, Brandon, Alex, and Michael as well as great-grandchildren Evan, Avery, Hunter, and Sterling. Bill is survived by his sisters-in-law Jill Brownlee and Diane Bond. He is predeceased by his sister Dorothy Forster, sisters-in-law Susan Tyers and Margaret Dynes, as well as his brothers-in-law Peter Forster, Donald Tyers, Herb Tyers, Bill Bond, Fred Dynes, and Ron Brennan.

Bill will be missed by his special gang, Rosie, Judi, Jan, Barb, and Jim.

A very heartfelt thank you to Drs. Walker, Terrell, Church, and Elliott for their wonderful care. To Bill’s Care Team, Deb Mair, Alex Popper from Rehab First, PSW’s Christina, Michael, Cheryl, Jenn, and Bobbi Jo from Bayshore: without them Bill would not have been able to stay home. Words cannot express our thanks to the Carleton Place Memorial Hospital’s nursing staff for the care and compassion shown to Bill and our family.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to your local SPCA would be greatly appreciated.

A celebration of life will be held later this summer in Brantford, Ontario.
