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.

Bill was a dear friend, having known him since his posting to
CFSU (E) GK, Germany supporting our IT while we were posted to Brussels, Belgium. Even though time passed between our seeing each other, when we reunited, it was as if no time had passed at all.

We were shocked to hear about your passing and we will miss you but you will be in our thoughts and in our hearts forever.

To Vickie, family and friends, please accept our deepest condolences.

Billio,
We worked together, enjoyed meals together, boat rides, coffees, the ranges and shared a love of dogs. I will always remember you as a stand up guy. Thank you for helping my girls and I move during COVID. Rest In Peace and to all of those whom you loved let your smile shine brightly upon them. Hugs.
