<div itemprop="description">SKILLEN, William R. &quot;Bill&quot;; <br /> <br /> Suddenly but peacefully at Billings Court Manor on Monday August 31, 2015, in his 89th year. Beloved husband of Margaret (nee Callan) for 60 years. Dear father of Donna Smith (Angus), Ron, Gerald (Nelda) and Carol (Lisa). <br />Dear grandpa of Andrew (Megan), James, Jon, Nathan, Liam and great grandpa of Clara. Predeceased by sister Mary Isabel Edwards. <br /> <br />Bill was a marine engineer who worked for many years with the various marine divisions of CN. After retiring he drove a school bus for a few years and had many humourous stories to tell from both these careers. He enjoyed travelling, including many trips to B.C. to see his sister. Summers were spent at the cottage where he enjoyed more relaxing days with his wife, children and grandchildren. <br /> <br />A private family service was held, followed by interment. Memorial donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. <br /> <br /> <br /></div>
