WILLIAM ORR GIBSON
Suddenly, on Friday, July 4, 2014 Bill died
at the age of 86 years.
Left to mourn are his wife of 61 years, Lily;
sons Will and John (Valerie); daughter Ingrid (Robert); grandchildren Erin
(Andrew), Joel (Alyssa), and Megan; sister Madeline (Ross); nieces and nephew; great
nieces and great nephews. He was predeceased by his parents William and Belle
Gibson and his sister Bette (Ron).
Bill was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on
February 2, 1928 and was the youngest of three children. He attended various
schools: Isaac Brock, Daniel McIntyre and then the woodworking classes at
Kelvin.
Woodworking was his passion. He had two
shops, the first was in St. James, behind his home and the second in Stony
Mountain, beside his home. He loved all the work he created from cedar chests,
to bedroom suites and kitchen cabinets, rec rooms to a custom built home.
Bill had many interests. He loved to play
golf, cards - especially bridge, solving Sudoko problems and putting jigsaw
pieces of a puzzle together. Also, he volunteered during the Christmas season
with the Salvation Army Kettle program.
He will be dearly missed by all his family
and friends.
