It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of William “Bill” Henry Carson on December 9, 2022.

He was predeceased by his son Richard in 2017, wife Penny in 2019, father William Carson, mother Dorothy (nee Turton-Dawson), and his eight elder siblings including Nora, Pearl, Donna, Fred, Gladstone, Roger, Westley, and Hugh. He is also survived by his sister-in-law Jean Carson and Mary and Rick MacLeod, many nieces, nephews, cousins, and cherished friends.
Bill was a fifth-generation Carson and the youngest of nine, to live in Waterdown. He grew up on Mill Street, lived on Union St., and spent over 40 years on Elgin St. before recently moving into his heritage home on Mill. He spent some time in his youth working for the family paving business, Fred Carson & Sons Construction, and talked fondly of the family’s entrepreneurial contributions to the growth and flourishment of the Waterdown community.
Bill obtained his B.Sc. from the University of Guelph in 1970 and went on to work at the Ford Motor Company in Oakville until he established his own business in water and sewers, W.H. Carson Construction from 1981– 2012. He enjoyed woodworking, watching boxing title weight matches, and camping. Bill and Penny loved to travel, taking in cruises and frequenting the local casinos, he also enjoyed attending construction and auto shows with his friends. Bill was an assistant coach on several of the kid’s baseball teams, including the year Waterdown won the Ontario Rural Championships in 1987. He will be fondly remembered for his kind, honest and gentle spirit, Bill was a loving and generous man who was always willing to help anyone in need.
The family would like to thank his caregivers Gemma, Anita, Tina, and close friends Al and Mary Gilpin for their loving support and compassion.
