With immense pain and sadness we announce the passing of Bill on Thursday, September 20, 2018 just thirteen days prior to his 65th birthday, after a courageous seven year battle with leukemia.

We wish to extend special thanks to the staff of the Saskatoon Royal University Hospital’s Bone Marrow Transplant team, and the anonymous stem cell transplant donor who gave him another seven years of life, the Oncology Care Team at the Allan Blair Cancer Centre and Pasqua Hospital Unit 3B, Palliative Care Unit 3A, and in particular the Palliative Home Care Team who helped Bill fulfill his wish to be surrounded by the comforts of his precious home and family in his final days.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one Sharon. May God comfort and bless you at this difficult time.
I was very sad to hear of Bill's passing. I only met him a couple of times but liked him right away. When I visited Sharon and him a few years ago, he was happy to barbecue for us but quite disgusted that I made him cook my steak well done. It's a nice and funny memory. My condolences to you, Sharon, and all the friends and family who loved and appreciated him.
Bill's passing is very sad news. I always considered Bill a good guy and a friend and am sorry he has now moved on. Our condolences to you, Sharon Wilson and all of your family.
Sharon so sorry to hear of Bill's passing, may you find peace and comfort in the days to come.
