It is with great sadness we announce the passing of William (Bill) Henry Frederick in Powell River General Hospital with his wife and very good friends by his side. He leaves behind his wife Freda (no children), sister Irene and nieces and nephews.
Bill was predeceased by his father William Senior, mother Wanda, sister Joan, nephew Mark and two brothers-in-law.
Bill was born in Pine Falls, Manitoba, and worked for Abitibi Price for 17 years as a machinist. He then moved to Powell River in 1967 and worked for MacMillan Bloedel for 25 years. After Bill retired, he enjoyed the outdoors, fishing, trapshooting and gardening.
A family reunion will take place in his hometown where all his relatives are living; the date will be announced later.
The family would like to thank Doctor Toole, Doctor Meyer and all the wonderful nurses, especially Karen, who took care of Bill toward the end. Thank you also to our wonderful neighbours and friends who supported the family during this time.
