Bill's journey led him from his Canadian roots to a fulfilling life in the United States.

Throughout his life, Bill was a man of many passions. He had an enduring love for classic cars, frequently attending car shows with a particular fondness for Cadillacs and Corvettes. His enthusiasm for automobiles was matched only by his love for golf. He played on numerous courses and also attended the PGA Masters as a spectator three times. Bill's musical tastes were a reflection of his era, with a special place in his heart for classic rock and the timeless tunes of Elvis Presley.
Bill is survived by his son, Greg Cameron (Shauna); daughters, Tina Cameron Bewley (Terry) and Tracey Cameron Wilkinson (Tim); granddaughters, Jessica Cameron Bowden (Ben), Dani Hancock and Mary Emma Huggins (Jacob); grandsons, Josh Bewley (Nicole) and Tyler Bewley; and great grandsons, Kason Bewley and Lex Huggins.
Bill was a friend to everyone he met. To know him was to love him. Those who knew Bill will remember him as the embodiment of a life well-lived. His presence could light up a room, and his friendly conversations and sense of humor were a source of comfort and joy to many. He approached life's challenges with optimism and always found a way to see the good in every situation. His loving spirit will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
