William Maw Obituary
WILLIAM (BILL) BATEMAN MAW Resident at Grandview Lodge, Thunder Bay, Ontario. Born September 3, 1929 at Toronto General Hospital went to be with his Saviour Jesus Christ, and with his parents Eileen and Harold Bateman Maw on June 6, 2009. He leaves behind his younger brother John, sister- in-law Margaret, 3 nieces (Deborah, Wendy, Elizabeth), 3 nephews (Robert, Gregory, Stephen), and cousins Marie Dandy, Pat Squire, Margie Burkholder, Diane Chappel, Marilyn Brooks, Danny Simmer. Even though Bill went through his life with limitations created at birth, his interests included classical music, sports, local events, live theatre, fishing, antique cars. He impacted many because he had a caring and prayerful heart. He was a 'lone-star' but was able to enjoy such things as Canadian Expo in B.C., hockey weekends in Montreal, and trips to the Stratford Festival. On the death of his parents he joined his brother John in Thunder Bay. The personal care many gave at Grandview Lodge these past ten years was much appreciated by Bill and his family. Because of his outgoing, cheerful nature Bill will be missed by many. A memorial service will be held in Toronto at Jarvis St. Baptist Church, at the corner of Jarvis and Gerrard Sts., at 11 a.m. on Friday, June 19th in Greenway Chapel. A luncheon will be served after the service. In lieu of flowers, please give to Grandview Lodge Gardenview Dining Improvements for the benefit of the residents, or Toronto Baptist Seminary residence renovation fund, in remembrance of Bill.
