elevated Bb7nL As a boy, Bill grew up during WWII, in the small town of Damelj, Slovenia, on the river Kolpa.   After serving (unwillingly) in the Yugoslav Army, Bill returned to Timmins and Hamilton, Ontario and spent his 27 year professional working career in Dofasco as a wood pattern maker and craftsman.    Bill continued his working career owning, managing and maintaining a number of rental properties with wife Anne.

elevated Bb7nL Bill was a determined, energetic man of few words and many actions.    All family, friends and neighbors knew that if something needed to get done, call Bill – he could fix, move, build, repair or solve almost anything.    Bill and Anne traveled extensively throughout all of North America via motorhome.    Bill was an outdoorsman, fisherman and Bar-B-Quer of vast quantities of meat.
