Bill will be fondly remembered by many friends and coworkers and his special friends at Red Pine Lodge, where he spent the summers the past 28 years. He will also be remembered as a respected heavy equipment mechanic. He started his career with the Boychuk Brothers and went on to work for Chic's Texaco, Timmins Garage, Buponts, Texasgulf and finally with Bradley Brothers. Bill's passion was his family, camping at Red Pine Lodge and his love for Nascar Racing. The family would like to thank all those medical professionals both in Timmins and Sudbury who aided our father on this journey the past 25 days, especially the vascular team in Sudbury, Dr. Fenton, Dr. Puddapakkin and Dr. Willouby.
