He attended Trinity Anglican Church with his family. Bill loved trikes and the farm, he was a motorcycle enthusiast and built many a trike in his day that took home ribbons that he proudly displayed. He loved the wonderful staff at the Perley Rideau Veteran’s Health Centre Gatineau 2, who gave him such amazing care and kindness, especially Virginia his special care giver, Ayan, Milania, Marie, Aminata, Coreen, Bonnie, Gregory, Danielle and the wonderful Creative Arts team Annamarija, Ross and Gen, Andrea and Kelsey who played his favorite song on the guitar while he took his final journey.
