William McMaster Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 17, 2006.
McMASTER, William Grant "Bill" William Grant "Bill" McMaster of Olds, formerly of Edmonton, passed away on December 8, 2006 in Olds, Alberta at the age of 75 years. Bill is survived by his two daughters, Erin (Norm) Machell of Olds and Lynn (Dennis Haw) McMaster of Acme; their mother Joan; his grandchildren Thomas and Heather Machell of Olds; and brother Angus (Sharon) of Wilkie, Saskatchewan. He is also survived by his devoted friend of many years, Dennis (Laurie) Lang of Ardrossan. Bill was predeceased by his parents Grant and Helen McMaster. Bill was a dedicated Chartered Accountant in Edmonton, serving his loyal clients for over 40 years and retiring only when failing health forced him. He moved to Olds to be closer to his family and resided at Olds Continuing Care. Bill enjoyed visiting with clients, friends and family, and sitting down to a game of crib whenever the opportunity arose. He took special delight in watching his grandchildren grow. At Bill's request, a private family service will be held. If friends and family desire, a Memorial tribute may be made in Bill's memory to Olds Hospital Continuing Care, 3901 - 57 Avenue, Olds, Alberta T4H 1T4.
