William « Bill » Samuel Board
1937-2021
William (Bill) Samuel
Board, 84 years young, of London, ON, passed away on December 12, 2021
at LHSC, Victoria Hospital.
Bill was born
on March 31, 1937 to Cyril & Dorothy Board in Ingersoll, ON.
After graduating from Ingersoll Collegiate Institute, he went straight
on to his first and only job joining London Life in London, ON as a
clerk in the mail room. Several promotions and many years later, Bill
retired from the company. Not quite Freedom 55 but pretty darn close.
In 1964, Bill
was married and went on to having two children, Michael &
Janis. Janis married and went on to give him the absolute joys of his
life, his grandchildren, Eric, Pearce, & Nikki. Bill was a
home body, determined to support his family in any way possible and
due to the early age of his retirement was able to visit Kitchener
quite frequently where his grandchildren lived or have them come for a
visit in London. He always tried his best to support them and Janis in
any way possible.
If Bill was
not with his family in his retirement years, he could be found at
« the club » where he would have met with friends, joined the
drama club, swam, and played cards and bingo. Bill took an active part
in all aspects of the club during his time there. Anyone who knew Bill
would know that he was one of the nicest people you could ever hope to
meet.
Bill was predeceased by
Gail Board (Wife & Best Friend), Cyril Board (Father), Dorothy
Board (Mother), and Robert Board (Brother). He is survived by his
children Michael Board and Janis McKenzie as well as his grandchildren
Eric, Pearce, and Nikki McKenzie. Bill will be dearly missed by many,
a special thanks to Cindy Brown for her love, friendship, and support
in this time.
Cremation has taken
place.
A celebration of
Bill’s life will be scheduled for close friends and family
in the near future.
Donations to the Boys’
& Girls’ Club of London Foundation would be
appreciated.
Arrangements entrusted
