William Wilson Obituary

WILSON, William A. (Bill) July 14, 1940 - October 6, 2018 On a beautiful fall day, just days after the end of the Ryder's Cup, this passionate golfer passed away at home surrounded by his family and best friend. Bill is survived by his children, Bethany & Craig, Justin & Gorana, and Jeremy (Sydney), and his four beloved grandchildren, Jonah, Shelby, Taya and Max. He is also survived by his sisters and brothers-in-law; Judy Hand, Jackie & Kerry McPherson, Leslie & Richard Loewen, and Bill & Gabi Harper, and all his wonderful nieces and nephews. Bill was predeceased by his wife, the love of his life, Noni, his mother Mattie Wilson, his mother and father-in-law Claudia & Bill Harper, and brothers-in-law Ken Hand and Craig Smith. This tall, dark and handsome fella will be greatly missed and forever loved. Bill's incredible generosity, feisty spirit, unique sense of humour, and unabashed love for his family will always be remembered. Bill's Celebration of Life takes place at Olympic View Golf Course on Sunday, November 18th, 2018 at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Sooke Minor Fastball Association.

I wrote something weeks ago and don't know how/why it doesn't appear. Regardless, I hope my tech deficiencies are overcome enough so this makes it.

On behalf of his team mates from the Senior 'A' Basketball Victoria Coffee Macs and Haida Chiefs, we first want to certainly acknowledge the dark and handsome description. Tall, not so much! But fierce competitor on the court, jovial, friendly and great friend off it.

John Balloch apprised me of him regularly and I regret we never did tee it up together. Thank goodness for the years or aforementioned memories. And, he's with Noni again.

Condolences to family and other friends.

Heartfelt condolences to Jeremy, Justin, Bethany and your families. I am saddened and caught off guard as we only talked recently of our losses, Lloyad and Noni. With profound sympathy. Regards

I knew Bill from the OV golf club. I played with Bill many times, such a gentleman to play with. May your balls always go straight down the fairway. Rest in peace Bill. Bob Couldwell

It has been an honour to have known Bill, both at the ballpark and in the our community of Sooke. All my thoughts are with his family - please know that your Dad stands as someone who we all aspire to "be like" one day. I won't forget his wise words to me....bless you Bill.

Memories came flooding back of our days at Oaklands school. 'Billy' Wilson was such a favourite of all of us. I am so glad you put the 'young' Billy photo in because that smile & twinkle I his eyes are just as I remember. I did one day try to connect when I was at the 17 Mile pub but just missed him by a few minutes.
It is wonderful to read that life was good to Bill and that he loved and was loved.
My condolences to all of his family and friends.

Our sincerest regards and blessings to you, Bethany, Justin, Jeremy and your families. Mom & Dad are having a blast and golfing to their hearts content. Together again. Great memories to treasure, hold close to you and heal your hearts. Bill and I were quite the hockey enthusiasts, shared our son's passion for the game.
