Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryWILLIAM (BILL) THOMAS BRAID October 19, 1939 - October 30, 2017 We regret to announce the sudden passing of William "Bill" Thomas Braid, 78, of Teulon, Manitoba, on October 30, 2017. Bill is survived by his siblings, Gerry (Willard), Arthur and Ginny; his daughters, Cindy (Dave), Kathryn (Scott) and Andrea (Lorne); his 12 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Bill was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba where he went to school in River Heights. He left school to join the Air Force where he was trained to be an air frame specialist. Later, Bill went on to work for Xerox as a senior technician until retirement in 2006. He enjoyed his post-retirement years on his beautiful property near Teulon, MB. This is where Bill hosted the annual world lawn dart and bocce ball tournament for 35 years which has provided friends and family with a life time of laughs and cherished memories. Bill had a soft spot in his heart for the pets that he had over the years, including his two Papillons, Jitterbug and Rocky. Bill was known for his kind, generous nature, his witty sense of humour, and his keen intellect. He had collected National Geographic magazines for the past 50 years, and took interest in a wide range of science and nature topics later on in life "to keep the mind sharp". Bill was truly one of a kind and he will be greatly missed. As per Bill's wishes, there will be no funeral service held.

My deepest condolences to the family. I am truly sorry for your loss. I knew Bill because he and I hung out with the same group in River Heights. It was a special group because we had a great mixture of great people. We had a great time together. Lots of fun. Nobody got hurt. We eventually grew up and got older and went our separate way. Bill was a wonderful guy. Those were the days. I will cherish them forever. - Posted by: Ed Bailey (Former acquaintance/friend from River Heights.) on: Nov 08, 2017

My deepest sympathies, Kathy, Cindy and Andrea and Family. I have always remembered your father, a figure I remember well as part of my child hood. To this day, I still do not leave any dirty dishes in the sink. My thoughts are with all of you at this difficult time. Mike - Posted by: Michael Hinson (Family Friend) on: Nov 08, 2017
