Bill McAVOY Obituary
Bill (William Richard) McAvoy, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully at his home in Ladner, BC, on August 29, 2024, just days shy of his 67th birthday. Born on September 2, 1957, in Liverpool, Nova Scotia to Jim and Grace, Bill always loved the maritimes. His early years were spent alongside his siblings in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, before embarking on a new chapter in White Rock, British Columbia in 1977.
Bill is lovingly remembered by his devoted wife of 25 years, Lynnette; his children, Dustin, Katie and their mother Darline; his adored grandchildren, Macy and Hollis; and his brother Fred. His legacy lives on through the many friends and family who were touched by his humour and genuine, caring nature.
A passionate musician, Bill's guitars and songs were a testament to his life's journey. Bill's joy in life was evident in his laughter and knack for telling stories.
Bill's sudden departure leaves a void in the hearts of those who knew him. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered for his hilarious spirit, and ability to find happiness in the everyday moments of life.
A service to honour Bill's life will be held in the spring. The family deeply appreciates the outpouring of condolences during this time.

So very sorry to hear this sad news. I will always remember Bill as being so up beat and happy whenever he came into the office at SM Products and I had the chance to talk to Bill. Such a nice man. My heart goes out to his entire family. Darlene Armstrong

When you have an only brother and you are four years apart in age, you may not be close but that connection is always there. Add to the age difference a 4000 mile distance between residences and the gap became even more difficult to close. Over the years, we shared many moments together such as swimming at Katy's Cove in Saint Andrews, being alter server brothers at mass, weddings and funerals, building "buggies" to race on the streets in our little town, building "Five Town", my bachelors' party in July of 1975, my recuperation from the car accident in December, 1975 that claimed my wife Denise, bartending at my fathers' retirement party in 1978, and Bill and Darline's wedding moments in Spain. All my memories are like film clips that come back to me with no warning. I could not have asked for a better brother. I will miss you, Bill :)
