Obituary
On Friday morning, August 4, 2023, William Harvey Proud, «The Mushroom Guy», passed away at GBHS in his 74th year.
Born in Owen Sound, Bill was the loved son of Mel and Muriel Proud (both deceased).
Raised in the Tara community, Bill loved to fish in the Sauble River that flowed through our farms. Interests in his teens, such as searching for puffballs, his love of music and passion for exploring new foods, expanded in his adult life.
Later, from his twenties on, Bill’s commitment to social justice grew. His commitment to championing the rights of Indigenous people and women remained with him even as he struggled with Parkinsons.
Bill was predeceased by his beloved partner, Donna Knott, in 2018.
Fondly remembered by sisters, Joan (Jim) Burlington and Holly Cameron, his nieces and nephews, his cousins, one brother-in-law, six sister-in-laws and many friends.
A celebration of Bill’s life will be held at Brian E. Wood Funeral Home, 250 14th St. W., Owen Sound, 519-376-7492, on Thursday, October 12, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. Interment at Hillcrest Cemetery, Tara, following the reception.
In lieu of flowers, donations to M’Wikwedong Indigenous Friendship Centre or Women’s Centre Grey Bruce are appreciated. Online condolences can be sent to Bill’s family by visiting his memorial at www.woodfuneralhome.ca.
