After a courageous battle with ALS, C/Supt William J. (Bill) Becker ret’d, passed away peacefully surrounded by family at the Maplewood Residence on 11 November 2017. He was in his 90th year. A loving and devoted husband to Mabel (predeceased), the best father anyone could ask for to his son Scott (Denyse), a loving and doting Grandfather to Kimberley (Sebastian) and Jonathan, and a loving and supportive brother to Ileen (Grant) and Dolly (predeceased). Bill was a dedicated and proud RCMP officer with an illustrious 36 year career, and was instrumental in the creation of the RCMP National Memorial Cemetery at Beechwood. He will be remembered for his strength and courage, as a leader, role model, an officer and a gentleman with an infectious smile whose generous and compassionate nature brought joy to his family and friends alike.
The family would like to thank Dr Farey and the nursing and care staff at the Maplewood Residence, Lia Eichele and the RCMP Veterans Association, Barb MacDonald (OT), Veterans Affairs Canada, and the ALS Society for their excellent support and care for Bill over the course of his illness.
