Bill was born July 28, 1925 to Jesse and Elizabeth Edge in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. He grew up in Gilbert Plains, Manitoba where he attended Brickburn School and then went on to attend both Brandon University and the University of Manitoba. Bill enlisted in the Canadian Army on November 1, 1943 and received his Honourable Discharge on June 19, 1946 with the Rank of Sergeant. He went on to serve in the Canadian Army Militia from September 19, 1961 until April 25, 1967 with The Royal Winnipeg Rifles. Music was a large part of Bill's life and he was very proud to be a charter member of the Assiniboia Concert Band. He strived to pass on his enthusiasm for music to his four sons and was also successful in persuading his wife Anne to take flute lessons and learn to play the organ. Bill worked in radio and television advertising in Hamilton and Winnipeg until his retirement in 1986. Bill married Anne (nee Howelko) on June 19, 1952 in Matlock, Manitoba and together they raised their family of four boys in Winnipeg. Bill was predeceased by his parents, his mother-in-law and father-in-law, his brother Jack, and numerous brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. He is survived by, and will be greatly missed by, his wife Anne; his son Bill (Wenda), their daughter Debra (Jordan), and three children Emily, Aiden, and Matthew, their daughter Cara (Scott) and two children Charlotte and Madeline; son Doug (Carol), their son Andrew (Rhéanne) and two children Cabrel and Cécilia, and their daughter Robyn; son Rob (Stephen) and their two daughters Madisen and Mercedes; son Tom (Lori) and their two children Kelsey and Ian; as well as sister-in-law Eileen Edge.

Bill was a true gentleman and could be relied upon at all times. He was cheerful and diplomatic in a business which at times was erratic. I had not heard of Bill since i retired from Tv in Calgary in 1993. Please know that my prayers are with all the family. God bless each of you.
