Bill was a hard working man who spent time working for the wheat pool, farming his land near Crooked River, Saskatchewan and assisting other local farmers, operating a backhoe, hunting and guiding other hunters  as well as many other jobs.

Bill was the proud “Grandpa Dynamite” to 11 grandchildren: Cassandra, Danielle, Justin, Shelby, Cory, Taryn, Hailey, Turell, Kelsy, Dylan & Elijah, He was even prouder of the title “Great Grandpa” to 7 great grandchildren Alyssa, Daimon, Jersey, Kasey, Skyler, Novah & Marlo.
