William GIVENS Obituary

GIVENS, William (Bill) Wallace - Passed away on Sunday, August 10, 2014, surrounded by his four daughters, at the age of 89. Loving husband of the late Mary, beloved father of Cathy (John), Janie (Tom), Marg (Rob) and Toon. Loving Poppa to Mike (Krystal) and Daver and great-grand Poppa to Logan. Younger brother to Pat. Bill served in WWII, was a scratch golfer, an executive at Global TV and loved relaxing and playing cards at the cottage. His Scottish heritage was important to him and he especially appreciated a wee dram! Poppa loved music and having sing-a- longs with family and friends. He will be remembered as a kind, gentle man with a quick wit and he will be missed. Visitation will be held on Monday, August 18th from 1-3 and 5-8 p.m. at the McDOUGALL & BROWN FUNERAL HOME, 2900 Kingston Rd. (east of St. Clair). The family will be celebrating his life with a private service. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Ronald McDonald House Toronto or to Camp Oochigeas (www.ooch.org) would be appreciated.

As the first employee of Global TV I had the privilege and honour of greeting the second employee of Global TV Bill Givens. He was a very knowledgeable person. When we played in the Global golf tournaments , I was fortunate to be paired with Bill. He was always very accommodating and helpful. I always enjoyed working and golfing with Bill. He was a gentleman and a good friend.

My father Frank Buckley and I express our deepest sympathies. Bill will be sadly missed.

Our sincere sympathy to your family, he will be sorely missed. He lived a long full life, although now it does not seem long enough. You will have many fond memories, stories to remember and even laugh about, but for now it must be a profound sadness...you are in our thoughts.
