Bill was born in Gilbert Plains, MB, where he received his elementary and high school education at Tanner School. He worked in various parts of Manitoba and Ontario before embarking on a career with Winnipeg Transit. He retired in 1989 after 32 years of service. Bill was a humble, quiet natured individual who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. He was a self-taught carpenter, electrician, plumber and mechanic. He mastered many renovations and projects around the home and yard instilling great pride in his accomplishments. His expertise will be greatly missed. After retiring he looked forward to Thursday night cribbage at St. Vital Legion. Like his father before him, Bill enjoyed socializing, dancing, and polka music, especially when a violin could be heard. For the past 25 years he looked forward to spending time with his morning coffee buddies at Salisbury House at Fermor and St. Anne's Road. He was a long time member of at Sts. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church. Surviving are his wife of 55 years, Elsie, son Brad (Lauree), grandchildren Kealin and Bryce of Saskatoon, SK, daughter Lorraine of Victoria, BC, sister Sylvia of Burnaby, BC, and many nieces and nephews.

I was saddened to read of the passing of one of my favourite mentors, Bill was a really great Supervisor during his 32 years at Winnipeg Transit and it was an honour to have been his fellow Supervisor, albeit for just a short time prior to his retirement. Bill was such a professional and hard working fellow, but he always had a smile and kind word for those he worked with. He will be missed. R.I.P. Bill. - Posted by: Dan Kirk (Chief Inspector, Winnipeg Transit (Retired)) on: Feb 11, 2015
