92)
It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of
William (Bill) Fyfe. 92 years young, Bill was taken from
us unexpectedly. Beloved and devoted husband of
the late Dorothy Fyfe (Dray), father to Alex (Ann
Marie), and Penny (Dave Chartrand), grandfather to
Wade, Michael, Austin and Madeline, and great
grandfather to Ali (Allister). Bill will
be remembered as a gentleman with many
interests and opinions, as a great
conversationalist and as a loving family man. In
his younger years he worked for Bell Canada in Toronto
and Hamilton and later as a civilian member in the RCMP
in Ottawa. He was a passionate sailor and long-time
member at Lac Deschene Sailing Club competing in the
Wayfarer class. He participated in many regattas
including the World Championships in Denmark.
After the passing of Dorothy, he resided at Amica in Westboro. Bill was still driving, playing crib, enjoying sudoku and kenken, bird watching, loved practicing and improving on his ukulele, participating in Wednesday night jams at the Clocktower with BUG (pre-Covid) and spending time with companion Mardie McGloughlin who recently passed. He will be sorely missed by family, friends and the many lives he touched. In dad's own words... It's been a good long "meet" Some calm days, some grand windy days, and a few rough breezes. To all Wayfarer sailors, always remember -- Keep the pointy end going forward and the open side up! W937 Donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Society or the Ottawa Mission. |

a personal thanks from me to Bill
for having introduced me to Calvin and Hobbes
who have been a marvellous addition to our family's lives just as the kiddies arrived:    This calls for Stupendous Man!   |
