He worked at several local garages and then completed his working years as mechanic and bus driver for the Cobequid Central Regional School Board working out of Tatamagouche. William was an avid antique car fan, and participated in many car shows and parades with his pride and joy, his 1967 Ford Galaxie. Over the years he was involved in many truck and tractor restorations and repairs for both himself and many others. He loved his many dogs he owned throughout his lifetime and gave many a chuckle to see his co-pilot dog is his snowplowing truck with him.William is survived by his wife of 50 years, Jacquie (Hunt); daughter, Thelma Langille, Amherst, and her children, Zachary and Alicia Lynds; sons, Jason and his daughter, Zayna; Martin (Lisa), and their children, Melanie, Michelle, Marcus and Michael, of Fort McMurray, Alta.; sister, Donna Langille, and her children, Jamie and Tyler Fraser.
