BEVAN, William H. November 22, 1922 - July 16, 2005 Surrounded by the love of his wife and family, it is with great sadness we announce the death of a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother. William (Billy) in his 83rd year passed away peacefully at the Hamilton General Hospital. Beloved husband and soul mate of Carol (Buchanan). Loving father and father-in-law of Roy (Jane), Darlene (Russ), Dawn (Alan), Sandy (Kim), Jody (John) and Wayne (Betty). He is lovingly remembered and sorely missed by 14 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren. Brother and best friend of Donna (Jim). Best big little brother of Marvin (Cathy) - Ottawa Rough Riders. Billy is predeceased by his parents Harvey and Beatrice, sisters Eileen and Marcy and brother Eddie - Hamilton Tiger Cats. He will be sadly missed by many nieces and nephews. Friends will be received at the DONALD V. BROWN FUNERAL HOME, 36 Lake Avenue Drive, Stoney Creek, Ontario on Monday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Funeral Service will be held in the chapel on Tuesday, July 19, 2005 at 1:00 p.m. Cremation will follow. At this sad time we offer our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Tittley, Dr. Carlisle and staff of Emergency, Trauma and 5 West at the Hamilton General Hospital. Words cannot express our gratitude for your compassion and excellent care not only to Bill, but towards his entire family. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario, the Kidney Foundation or the Canadian Diabetes Association would be greatly appreciated by Bill's family.
