Obituary of Willem “Bill” Fase
Passed away peacefully in his sleep on September 3, 2022, at the age of 90. Beloved husband of Jane (van Jaarsveld). Loving father of Anita Radu (Michael), Connie Beaudoin (Robert), Debbie Wirsing (David), Rick Fase (Karen) and Yvonne Fase (Marcel). Loving grandfather of Jennifer (Dan) Lumley, Stephanie Radu, Josh (Ashton) Beaudoin, David (Kirsten) Beaudoin, Melissa Radu (Wesley Sohier), Daniel (Shaelyn) Sprague, Devon Sprague, Adam Fase, Kate Fase, and Lauren Fase. He was a loving great grandfather to Collins, Quinn, Christian and Eli. He was a very dear brother to late Nicolas, late Hank, and is survived by John (Ann) and Elisabeth (late Joseph) Huver. He is also remembered by many nieces and nephews. Bill grew up in Holland and immigrated to Canada in 1957 with his family. He married and started his own family in 1958. He created his own construction company and worked successfully for over 50 years. His greatest joy were his wife and children. He welcomed all children to the huge pool he built himself at the end of Cadillac Street in Windsor and he created the neighbourhood ice rinks with lights for anyone to enjoy. He loved camping, hockey, golf, soccer and pretty much any sport. He was well travelled in his trusty pop-up trailer with his wife at his side. His house was always filled with fun, laughter, and many friends. He and Jane moved to Villages of St. Clair during the pandemic and he will be missed in the Amherstburg neighbourhood he called home. Our family extends our heartfelt gratitude to the staff for their care, consideration, and love for this wonderful man. Visitation at Windsor Chapel (Central Chapel) 1700 Tecumseh Rd. E.
