Suddenly on June 14, 2022. Predeceased by his son Alexander. Beloved son of Gorden Douglas and Mary Jane (Hocking). Survived by his loving wife Vickie and sister Kathleen Jensen (Mark). Sadly missed by his aunts, Kathleen Gamble, Georgia Gull (Richard Smith) Dianna Martin (Fernand), uncle James Hocking, niece, Darcy and nephew Kevin Jensen, his cousins and his many friends.

Bill’s constant companion was his dog “Tyson”. His extended family included Kate  (Averie and Colton), Danny and Thomas (Melanie), Christopher, Bill and Jeanine, Steven and Genene, Tim, Steve and Barb. Bill is also lovingly remembered by Vivianne, Marcia, Jasmine, Chloe and Hannah.

He enjoyed his motorcycles and drifting down the Rideau in his boat. A fish or two was always a bonus. Bill believed a bad day on the range was better than a great day at work, not that there was ever a bad day at the Stittsville Shooting Club.

Resting at Beechwood Funeral Home, Ottawa

Visiting July 13, 2022, 1200 to 1400 with interment immediately following in the National Military Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers donations to the Ottawa Humane Society or the Charity of your choice would be appreciated.

Over the last 15 years I got to know Bill at Tunney's. During the last 4-5 years we talked regularly about the planning of his sections move within the building. If he didn't know the answers he always found the answer. In fact I talked with Bill regarding the move and Harley's about two weeks before his passing. RIP Bill

Lost a very good man and true friend. Riding, shooting and the odd drift down the river. A first class human being that would and did, give the shirt off his back. He will be truly missed!
Until we meet again Brother!

The BEST BOSS ever! You were the guy I called for advice on everything. Yes he did know a lot of answers to many questions.
He was always soft spoken and kind to everyone. You will missed more than you could have imagined by many.
Rest In Peace my friend.
