William (Bill) Blackburn passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his family on April 18, 2015. Bill was born March 31, 1936 in Hamilton, Ontario.

His career with Sears brought him to Western Canada where he retired and pursued his many interests. Gardening was his labour of love. Skiing and swimming with family and friends provided him with many wonderful memories.

He is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Marguerite, 3 children; Natalie (Phil), Billy (Monique) and Charlene (Walter), grandchildren; Tianda, Vanessa, Danica, William and Emily, his brother Jack (Vonnie) and his sisters Doris, Marion and Sharon (Earl).
