William Henry REYNOLDS

REYNOLDS, William Henry - Passed away peacefully in his 87th year on Sunday, May 4, 2008 at St. Catharines General Hospital. Predeceased in 2001 by Rheta, his loving wife of 57 years. Bill is survived by his three children, Judy McBride, Robert (husband of Beth) and Bill (husband of Laura Lind); seven grandchildren (Mandy, Matthew, Jennifer, Rob, Scott, Darren and Justine), and six great grandchildren (Tyler, Ella, Will, Linnaea, Alexis and Madeline). Bill grew up in Oshawa, Toronto and St. Catharines, and found permanent employment at McKinnon Industries, which became General Motors. He was a Second World War airforce co-pilot, and after the war, a tool designer and then process engineer. He had a love for numbers and wordplay, and was a sly and accomplished bridge player. He also had a golf swing only Arnold Palmer could love. Bill was an understanding father and husband, a dear neighbour and a dedicated contributor to his community. To the very end he maintained his dry sense of humour. The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at Hamilton East General and St. Catharines General who cared for Bill during his final months. At Bill's request, cremation has taken place. A Memorial Service will be held at HULSE & ENGLISH FUNERAL HOME AND CHAPEL, 75 Church St. 905-684-6346 on Thursday, May 8, 2008 at 3 p.m. Family and friends are invited to call from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. A reception at the Reynolds' residence will follow. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the charity of your choice. On-line tributes may be made at www.mem.com 11076048
