William Acres Obituary
ACRES
William (Bill) Acres passed away peacefully at home on May 7th, 2014, 7 days shy of his 75th Birthday.
Forever loved, cherished and missed by his wife Marilyn, son Carey (Carla) Acres of Grande Prairie, AB, step sons Dave (Karen) Guinn and Jim (Nancy) Guinn and daughter Michelle Acres; grandchildren Corey & Ryley; Niya, Nicola & Kiana; Miranda & Zac all of Kamloops.
Also left to cherish his memory are his brother Gary (Doloris) Acres of Edmonton, sister Nonie (Brian) Carver of Sherwood Park, AB, sister-in-law Carol Acres of Edmonton; his adopted children Eijiro & Takiko Hara and grandchildren Shinno & Kaede of Kamloops, and many nieces, nephews, friends and other relatives.
He was predeceased by his father Milton, brother Roy and nephews Blaine and Jarret.
Bill joined the RCMP in 1959 and was stationed throughout BC. Before retiring, Bill worked with Live Stock Section, SRGT (Bill) Acres, retiring in 1987. He then worked for School District 73 from 1987 to 2004 driving school bus. He enjoyed helping the ranchers at branding time, volunteering to deliver Meals on Wheels, the Kamloops Race Track, and every May he volunteered at the Black Mountain Rodeo in Kelowna. Bill loved fishing and camping, and our trips to Raratonga, Cuba, Hawaii and traveling across Canada. His favorite fishing spot was Meziadin Junction.
The family would like to express our heartfelt thanks to our Angels, the palliative care nurses from Interior Health Nursing Care PPW-4 & Respitory Therapist Carla, dietician Barbra. Thanks to Jessica and Justin and many more home support workers. Our love and thanks to Erin and Brenda for all your help and compassion.
Many thanks to my family and friends who gave us support during this stressful time.
A Celebration of Bill's life will be held on Saturday, June 7, 2014 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm in the Schoening Chapel Tearoom, with Pastor Lance Naylor officiating. Interment will follow at a later date.
Should friends desire, in lieu of flowers, donations to the Royal Inland Hospital, Cancer Clinic, 311 Columbia Street, Kamloops, BC V2C 2T1 in memory of Bill, would be appreciated.
