Will McColl Obituary
Will Donald McColl
Bill attended Snohomish schools, graduating in 1958. He attended a year of junior college before joining the work force. First at Bickford Motors, then the Snohomish Post Office. In 1967 he then hired on at Scott Paper and retired from Kimberly Clark (Scott Paper) in 2000.
He is survived by wife, Karen; daughter and son-in-law, Ann and Brion Henault and the light of his life, granddaughter, Olivia Henault; son, Adam; son and daughter-in-law, George and Christy McColl, grandson, Anthony and granddaughter, Holly. He is also survived by brother, Ted, with whom he shared his interest in racing cars. Last June, Bill and Ted took "Bill's trip of a lifetime" by going to Daytona, so Bill could ride with a pro around the race track. He is also leaving behind many friends.
The memorial will be at his church, The Bridge Church in Snohomish on Lake Avenue. Services will be on April 14, 2012 at 2:00 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family wishes any memorials be given to Providence Hospice of Snohomish County, 2731 Wetmore Ave., Everett, WA. They were of great comfort to Bill and the family he leaves behind.

Bill and I knew each other from day one, our parents were friends and we went all through school together.
Just within the past 3 years he became very good friends of my daughter Shannan and myself.He was the most loving and caring person you could. ever know. He was at my house practically every day rebuilding the engine in Shannan's Metro. He got it running and she purred like a kitten. He was so particular with every thing he did. He also was my teacher in learning to take my blood test for diabetes. Almost every day he was here trying to get me to learn myself It was tough, but we got through it,then he helped me when I would get scared if my readings were bad. Always instilling confidence in me by e-mail.
Bill was an extremely intelligent man too. He taught me so much about histoy.
Shannan and I miss him so much. We will always remember what a wonderful man he was.

Bill's mother took art lessons from my mother in the early 1960's. Bill spent many an evening in my parents' home waiting for his mother to finish her lesson and to take her home. My condolences to the family.
