It is with deep sadness we share the news of Bill’s passing. He died on Monday June 20, 2022. William (Bill) Humble died peacefully at the Pembroke Hospital with members of his family by his side. Born in Winlaton Mill County Durham England in 1938, Bill was the beloved husband of Diane Humble (nee Watts) for over 59 amazing years. He was the loving father of four children Arthur (Marilyn), Barbara (Kent), Vanessa (Patrick), and Steven (Fere). Bill was predeceased by his mother Catherine (McCabe), and father Arthur, siblings Josephine,Evaand Harry. Loving grandfather of Jake, Johnny, Danny, Jordan, Darya, Liam, Nathan, Lily, and Noah.Adored by his animal friends Gucci, Bella, Charlie, and many little kitty cats along the way.
Bill lived a full life with trunks of memories and stories large enough to fill a baseball stadium. His love of mathematics lead him to his career of surveying the streets and buildings of downtown Toronto from 1956 to his retirement in 2016. He was a huge part of the modern development of the City of Toronto playing a large role in the construction of several landmarks including the CN Tower, Skydome, and the modernization of the Royal Ontario Museum. He loved music, classic movies, summers at the cottage and winters in Florida. Bill was a truly humble and unassuming man but he had a true gift of gathering many admirers along his road of life. His easy going nature and true interest in each individual he crossed paths with left an imprint on any anybody lucky enough to have met him. He had an aura about him that was truly a rare gift. Long may you run Bill. You won’t be forgotten.
We would like to thank all the Nurses at 3M at the Pembroke Regional Hospital and a special Thank you to the nurses in Medical Daycare who took such good care of him the last few years.
