The family of Bill McQuoid announce his
passing on Thursday, April 19, 2018 at the Dr. Everett Chalmers
Hospital in Fredericton, N.B. at the age of 87. Bill was the
devoted husband of Joan (Buckley) for 62 years and the son of the late
Hope and Helen Jane (Swinton). Bill was the loving father of
Mike (Diane) of Dallas and Heather (Paul) of Fredericton and proud
grandfather to Amanda of Houston, Brant (Melissa) of Denver, Matt
(Sarah) of Fredericton, Andy of Edmonton and Viki (Rey) of Winnipeg
and great-grandfather to William of Denver plus many fur babies (too
many to mention).
Bill is also survived by
many nieces and nephews and was the last surviving member of his
family predeceased by sisters Hope, Barbara, Connie and Ruth.
In the years past, Dad loved
to visit his niece Linda at the lake and looked forward to sharing
Sunday dinners with her especially the desserts that she lavished on
him. Linda brought great joy to dad over the years and was a
constant companion. Dad also enjoyed golfing, curling,
crossword puzzles and Sunday drives. Dad’s favourite
expression was « that’s beautiful » whether it was a great
golf shot, war movie or dinner. Dad had a quirky sense of
humour and always had a smile on his face.
The family would like to
thank Dr. Doug Varty for his kindness and compassion over the
years. We would also like to pass on our sincere gratitude
to the staff of 4E for the excellent care that was provided to dad
until the end. We would also like to extend our appreciation
to Jane Buckley for her support – no task was too big or
small. Jane you are an angel and we could not have managed
without you.
Dad would not want us to be
sad, therefore, no visitation or service will be held.
However, the family will receive friends and visitors to celebrate
dad’s life at the home of Paul and Heather (51 Bliss Carman Drive in
Fredericton) on Sunday, April 29th between 2 – 4 pm.
Dad – we hope
that your drives are long and straight, all putts are gimmies and your
curling draws stop on the button. One more thing, go easy on the
vegetables, save room for
dessert!
Contributions to the Alzheimer Society of NB
would be appreciated.
Nos plus sincères sympathies à la famille et aux amis de William Charles McQuoid 19302018.source
