William ‘Bill’ MacArthur
1955-2023
William Andrew MacArthur, also
known as «Billy, Big Bill, Uncle Bill»,
was born on December 9, 1955. Bill passed away
quietly at the Aberdeen Hospital on Sunday, September 10th in the
company of loved ones.
He is survived by his loving wife,
Tameka MacArthur and stepson, Howard Thompson of Portmore
Jamaica. Uncle Bill leaves behind many nieces, nephews, and beloved
grandnieces and grandnephews: Leslie (Colin) Aikman, Debbie
(Scott) Bowen, Michael (Wendy nee Keough) MacDonald, Bailee,
Tanner, and Sydney Bowen, Laney MacDonald, Beatrice
Aikman, Tim Roode, Leanne and Melanie MacArthur.
Bill was predeceased by his parents,
Baxter and Beatrice (Patelakis) MacArthur and his sister, Diana
(MacArthur) Roode.
In his early years, Billy hitchhiked
across Canada and returned full of stories. He was a gifted
harmonica player and often joined in with Blues and Bluegrass bands.
He could often be seen in those days with long flowing hair and his
long-haired sidekick, Sarge.
Bill was a lifelong resident of Trenton
and worked at the Car Works for many years in the
paint shop and as a workplace hazardous materials
trainer. On the weekends he worked at
Sam’s Lounge as a bouncer.
The somewhat tough guy persona was no
doubt a result of the adversity he experienced throughout his
life. Those who knew Bill well saw his wit and raspy, hearty,
big belly laugh, his kindness and soft heart. Bill
endeavoured to make a better life for himself and loved spending as
much time as he could with family, including his one and only love,
Tameka.
Rest in peace Uncle Bill.
