Proud Grampa Bill to Isabelle, Jude, Maxime, Sammy, Renee, Olivia and Luke. Predeceased by his brother Ron, his parents, Arthur and Florence Taylor. and his late partner, Paula Thibert.

Bill found joy in warm sunshine, open water, and time spent with friends and family. Retirement gave him the chance to enjoy all three, as he and Jane, along with their beloved dog, Poppy embraced the adventure of RV life together for six years, treasuring winters in Florida. In his earlier years, some of his happiest days were on the waters of the Thousand Islands, where he passed along his love of boating to his family and created memories they will cherish forever. Wherever Bill went, laughter, good company, and good times were sure to follow. Professionally, he was a seasoned salesman who genuinely enjoyed meeting new people, building relationships, and making deals.
