Predeceased by his parents Mabel and William, sister (Babs), and brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. Bill was raised on the family farm where he and Jessie started farming in 1952. In 2011, after 3 generations of Ogilvies on the yard site, he proudly celebrated having a century farm. The love of his life were his family, his Black Angus cows and his horses. There were always horses on his farm. His pride and joy are his last pair of Percherons, Babe and Beauty. He loved to take anyone and everyone for a wagon or a sleigh ride. The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses of the Stonewall and Gimli Hospital for exceptional care given to Bill during his stays. A celebration of Bill’s life will take place on Saturday, February 6, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. at the Teulon Rockwood Centennial Centre followed by a private interment at the Erinview Cemetery.
