À la mémoire de
William Burton McDiarmid
17 décembre 1931 –
17 octobre 2021
William (Bill) Burton McDiarmid passed away peacefully in his sleep on Sunday, October 17, 2021, in Toronto, Ontario. Bill was born December 17, 1931 in Montreal, Quebec to Donald Carl & Margaret Eileen (nee Burton).
He was predeceased by his devoted wife, Jean Barbara (nee Bailey) on December 28, 2019.
Bill is lovingly survived by son Bill and his partner Larry Yorra of Boston, son Bruce and spouse Lucy Roussel, daughter Barbara, grand-children Kees, Tucker and Daisy of Toronto, and sister-in-law, Rae Nuttall of Kamloops BC.
Bill graduated from McGill University and earned his Chartered Accountant designation. Throughout his life Bill contributed to his community through his directorship on the Colwyn and Jean Rich Foundation, and his active involvement in Kingsway Lambton United Church, Etobicoke, Ontario, and Erskine and American United Church, Montreal, Quebec. Bill was an avid squash player at the Toronto Racquet Club and the Atwater Club in Montreal. He was a member of the Lambton Golf and Country Club in Toronto, and had an interest in thoroughbred horse racing. Travel was a passion which he pursued throughout his life: he and Jean visited five continents.
Many remember with fondness the entertaining stories Bill related about his adventures, and he was happiest when surrounded by family and friends. He will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved him.
A joint Celebration of Life for Bill and Jean will be held in Toronto on November 12 at Kingsway Lambton United Church at 1pm. It will be webcast live and recorded for later viewing.
Donations in Bill & Jean’s names may be made to Kingsway Lambton United Church (www.kingswaylambton.ca/page/giving).
