McLEAN, William James
March 10, 1949 - November 7, 2012
Bill McLean, beloved husband of Valorie McLean of Calgary, passed away on Wednesday, November 7, 2012 at the age of 63 years. Bill worked in the oil industry for thirty-nine years as a Systems Controller, most recently with CNRL. Bill will be remembered for his generosity, wit and contagious smile. He was a loving and caring man, and an inspiration to all who knew him. Besides his loving wife of 43 years, Valorie, Bill will be remembered by his twin sister Lynn Van Gorp, daughters Cindy (Phil) Anderson, and Sheri (Stan) Hicks, four grandsons Cody and Brendan Anderson and Cayman and Kaya Hicks. Bill was predeceased by his grandson Joshua Anderson. We will honor Bill in the Spring with a Celebration of his Life. Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com.

I say i am broken hearted to learn of this is the gross understatement of my lifetime. Billy was my best buddy from childhood and we shared so many great memories. His legacy will live on forever. This smile is for you Bill, and the so many good times we shared. See you later, my friend. It won't be difficult to find you.

Bill was a great guy, and it's hard to believe he is gone from this life. But he'll be watching over all of you from up above. We will cherish the great memories we have of "Willie", and we will never forget him.

Barry & I had only met Bill a few times at The Hick's BBQ's but really enjoyed his company and kind-hearted humour. We know how close the family is and how much you loved him. Our hearts and thoughts are with you all at this tragic time.
