Willie was born in Vancouver, BC on May 13^th, 1949.  After marrying his wife in 1970 he moved to Kamloops, where he happily made his home the majority of his life.  In 1976 he had completed a four year electrical apprenticeship and worked as Journey Electrician and in 2018 was honored for 50 years membership in the IBEW.

Willie’s had many interests including writing letters to the Editor of our local paper revolving around city politics; home renovations;  gardening (tomatoes were his favorite); fishing as long as there was sunshine involved; and one of his all-time most favorite was his Harley Davidson motorcycle. He was a H.O.G Life member since 1993.  Huge happiness was 2 trips to South Dakota, Sturgis Bike Rally and just about any time he got to ride.

Willie will be remembered for his quick wit and often sarcastic sense of humor, being a good political sparring partner, having a cold one ready to share on the pool deck and most of all time spent with his family and friends.

A Celebration of life will be held for Willie on Saturday, November 9^th, 2019 at 11:00 am at The Kamloops Funeral Home, Kamloops, British Columbia. Reception to follow immediately after the service.
