Williams, William George “Bill”
Peacefully, at home in Paris, ON on Saturday December 21, 2024, formerly of Peterborough and Brampton, in his 92nd year.
Beloved husband to Marilyn (nee Rintoul) for 68 years; Cherished father to Stephen, Susan Forber (Keith) and Scott (Kathleen); He loved his Grandchildren and great grandchildren; dear brother to Shirley Flower (the late Maxwell). Also survived by many cousins, nieces and nephews.
A life selflessly dedicated to teaching and providing mentorship to others. Who saw no reason to buy a Rolex when a Timex did the same job.
Bill was born in Toronto and considered himself to be a proud Torontonian. It was his love of family and community that filled his life. Bill was an alumni of Danforth Tech in the East end of Toronto . It was here that Bill began to develop interests in Sports Electronics. It was also during his Highschool years that he met the love of his life, Marilyn Rintoul, his wife of 68 years
Bill excelled at football with the East York Argos eventually receiving an invitation to join the Calgary Stampeders. It was his love of his family that kept him close to home though and on a path towards becoming a Master Electrician, High School teacher and to raise his family.
Bill and Marilyn moved to Bramalea, Ontario in 1966 with their 3 children
Bill spent the majority of his teaching career at Thistletown Collegiate where he taught Math and Electronics. Bill was the type of teacher that if you had him, you remembered him. It wasn’t uncommon that a former student would recognize him in a crowd and call him “Sir” telling him the positive impact he had on their lives. Known as “Coach Williams” He led Thistletown to the City Championship in 1969. His former players have stayed in touch with him throughout the years, a testimonial to the bonds of friendship that he formed
During his teaching years Bill also started Williams Electrical Contracting, a successful family business with Marilyn running the office.
Bill was a devoted and tireless community volunteer. He was dedicated to youth hockey and served on the executive for International Silverstick for many years, eventually becoming International Commissioner and an honorary life member. His involvement with Chinguacousy Minor Hockey and Lacrosse and the Bramalea Satellites Football club as a scout, coach and executive led him to being inducted into the Brampton Sports Hall of Fame
Bill also was awarded the prestigious Civic award in Brampton for his dedication to community
In retirement, Bill and Marilyn moved to Peterborough, Ontario. It wasn’t long before Bill became invested in the community as President of the Airforce Club, President of the Peterborough Humane Society, and a Director at the Festival of Trees
