William (Bill) Tyre
In his 94th year Tuesday January 20th, Maplecrest Village, Grimsby, Dad joined the love of his life Wendy who predeceased but never left him March 10, 2014. Dad will be sadly missed by his children Thom (Suzanne), Jock (Heather) of Kelowna BC, Cindy Smith (Barry) of Sydney Australia and Marty, (Donna) of Grimsby and his youngest brother Jim (Betty) Victoria BC. Predeceased by brothers George and Doug.
Granddad will always be remembered by Brett, Amy, Dylan, Eve, Jessica, Trevor and Matthew and his great grandchildren Carter, Rhys, Sydnee, Charlie, Hudson and Isobel.
Born in Vancouver, Dad wanted to pursue a career in banking, unfortunately a war interrupted his plans and he joined the Air Force in Vancouver and was sent to Ontario for training. A sassy lady from Oakville grabbed his eye and held his undivided attention for the next 70 plus years. Dad returned from overseas to join Bell Canada where he was a manager for 36 years. Dad was a community person, where he refereed hockey and umpired baseball in southeast Oakville as well as being an avid curler. Dad would moonlight from Bell as a DJ and call and teach square dancing. He was until recent years active in Probus and with the Telco Community Volunteers. Dad was an active parishioner at St. Cuthbert’s Anglican Church for decades serving as a Warden on several occasions. More recently he dedicated himself to Mom, making sure she wasn’t lonely and had company at any activities at Wyndham Manor.
The family would like to thank Jill, Dianne, Ian and Karen and the staff at Trafalgar Lodge and Maplecrest Village for their wonderful and loving support of both Mom and Dad.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to St. Cuthbert’s Church or the Kidney Foundation of Canada.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Ward Funeral Home 109 Reynolds Street, Oakville.
Visitation will be held from 10:00 to 11:00 Wednesday, January 28 followed by a funeral service at St. Cuthbert’s Anglican Church, 1541 Oakhill Drive, Oakville, ON.
