Bill was born in Diamond City, Alberta to Ruth & Eric Myers. Bill attended school in Coleman and Lethbridge. He spent his working years at D. McLeod & Sons, Noble Cultivators, and Oliver Industrial Supply. Old Timers hockey kept Dad busy for many years and gave him many years of fun. He enjoyed puttering in his green house and perfecting his begonias and tomatoes. A perfect day for Dad would be spending time with his kids and grandchildren. The family would like to thank Karen Watson RN, BN; the care givers from Greystoke and particularly the staff from Extendicare for their loving care of Bill.
