Bill was a much respected and loved uncle to many nieces and nephews and best friend to Al and Kathy Rollo. A proud Queen"s University Alum with a B.A. of Applied Science, Cum Laude, (Class of "66) . As a member of the Professional Engineers of Ontario, Bill was a much respected and revered Professor in the Engineering Technology Department at St. Clair College, where he cherished the opportunity to share his wisdom and knowledge with every person he met. Bill"s greatest joy came from spending time with his family, always mentoring and guiding his children through life"s journey. He relished the private moments with his grandchildren. Always active with their creative and sporting endeavours. Pa always had the right response, never far from a whimsical anecdote. How he would stand back at a family get together and smile proudly looking over his legacy. The family would like to thank the nurses and doctors from the ICU and 6 north at Windsor Regional Hospital, Metropolitan Campus for their exceptional care and compassion. Our " Gentle Giant " touched and affected the lives of his families, students, and friends in lasting and meaningful ways.
