WILLIAM JOSEPH BALFOUR MULHALL
Date of Passing: Dec 12, 2018
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryWILLIAM JOSEPH BALFOUR MULHALL Following a lengthy illness, it is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Bill dad and papa on Wednesday, December 12, 2018 at the age of 91. Bill will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife, the love of his life for 68 years, Annette (Lagimodiere), children Dale (Lauren), Tom (Fran), Ann (John), Glen (Dee), and Peter (Anne), grandchildren Liam (Sarah), Collen (Sajid), Natalie (Conor), Ian (Sarah), Breanna (Matt), Drew (Caity), Sarah, Cole, and Bailey, great-grandchildren Quinn and Huxley, sisters Patricia Clements, Mary Cowie (Garth), brother-in-law and longtime work partner Ray Fitzpatrick, and many in-laws, nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents William and Sarah, sisters Norah and Theresa and brothers Thomas (infant) and Michael. Dad was known for his fierce devotion and loyalty to family and friends. He was always outspoken on the importance of female equality and empowerment, to which his granddaughters will attest. He often said he never really learned how to "play". He worked from the time he was a child cutting wood to keep the family warm to later in life building his own homes. He was a perfectionist and took great pride in his profession as an aircraft maintenance engineer for 40 years with the Manitoba Government Air Division. Pilots often said they felt safe knowing he had worked on their planes. Bill was gifted with intelligence and memory. This legacy lives on in his descendants. A funeral service will take place on Thursday, December 20, 2018 at 1 p.m. at Christ the King Parish 847 St Mary's Rd, Winnipeg. The family wishes to thank the special angels in dad's life, Dr. Abdulrehman and Joanne as well as his "girls" Mariia, Gelila, Olga, Lesiya, Ruth and Veronica. Donations in Bill's memory can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba or the Saint Boniface Hospital Research Foundation. GREEN ACRES Funeral Home & Cemetery Highway #1 East at Navin Road, Winnipeg, MB (204) 222 3241 Condolences may be sent to www.greenacresfuneralhome.com

I’m sorry to see that Bill has passed on. I will always remember him as a kind and patient man. I first met him as a summer student at the Air Division in Lac du Bonnet. He always had time to explain a job to me in detail along with the way to proceed safely. He was consistently as nice a man as long as I knew him. My condolences. - Posted by: Paul McIntosh (Friend) on: Dec 20, 2018
