Nanaimo after a protracted struggle with Alzheimer's disease. Her family

complete integrity and honesty at whatever task was presented to them.
Nothing was ever procrastinated or left half done. Like so many of their
generation they were kept from a higher education by economic and family
circumstance, but were careful to provide a home that was supportive of
learning and provided the opportunities they had been denied. Thanks to the
staff of Dufferin Place in Nanaimo who treated her with such respect long
after her personality had gone. Donations to Alzheimer's research would be
most appreciated.

URQUHART _ W.J. (Bill) May 3, 1920 - July 27, 2007 After a lengthy illness,
Bill passed away on July 27. Predeceased by his brothers: Alex, John, Les
and his sister Joyce. He leaves behind his daughter Amber, niece Bonnie,
nephews Jon (Sam, Sydney and Ben), Andrew (Rebecca, Lily and Martha), George
(Marylyn, Landon, Lisa, Tyler and Kelsey) and Bryan (Ruby, Matthew and
Bryanne) and his brother-in-law Egon. Bill was born in South Vancouver and
spent his school years at McKenzie Elementary and John Oliver High School.
He attended the RCAF training school and served in the forces from 1939-1945
as an Aero Engine Mechanic. He was stationed overseas with the 423 RCAF
Squadron in Louchern, Ireland. It was here Bill developed a taste for
Guiness! After returning home, he became a lifelong member (60 years) of the
Branch 44 TB Vets. He was a Board member, visited veterans in hospitals and
care facilities and he was well known for organizing the annual golf
tournament. Early in his life Bill spent time in the mining and logging
industry. Eventually he got involved in construction working as a salesman.
He worked for Mills Steel from 1957 until 1973. In 1973 he started his own
company, Richform Construction Supply where he worked until his retirement
in 1986. Bill loved fishing as a young man but as he aged golf became his
passion. He spent his later years lovingly caring for his daughter Amber and
practicing or playing golf everyday. His fondest memories include playing
golf at Langara with his good friend Oliver. He also loved dogs and he could
often be seen walking "Cambie", his faithful companion, around Hillcrest
Park. A big thank you to all the staff at the VGH Radiology and Urology
Dept. Bill will be sadly missed by all his family and friends. As requested
no flowers please, donations can be made to the Mel Zajac Foundation in
Bill's name. Service to be held at Brock House, 3875 Point Grey Rd.,
Vancouver at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday August 8th.

miss his sense of humour, his hearty laugh and his thirst for knowledge in
all things technical especially cars. We wish to thank the doctors, nurses
and all the staff at Richmond General Hospital for their care and attention
this past year. In lieu of flowers or Koden, donations may be made to the
Steveston Buddhist Temple or a charity of your choice. A wake will be held
