William Lewis Ellis

On February 28th, Bill passed away peacefully in his home, at the age of 86. Sibling to Hazel and Dick, with Kathleen, proud parent of Kathryn, Karen & Will and grandparent to Chris, Megan, Ben, Samantha & Jack, Bill fought a courageous battle with prostate cancer for over 13 years, never letting it get in the way of travelling the world or pursuing his dreams and interests.
Bill was a free spirit and loyal friend to a wonderfully diverse community of people. He cherished his time with every single one. Bill was passionate about sharing his wisdom and experience. His website was another pride & joy. You can visit it at www.thebillellisbible.ca for more. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to the Glorian Macdewellis Award intended to support International students studying theatre arts in Canada at Langara College where Bill volunteered: https://www.gofundme.com/the-glorian-macdewellis-scholarship. As Bill's travels took him far and wide, no single service has been planned. Rather, we invite family & friends to find a special way to gather, pay their respects and celebrate his life. Gone but never forgotten, Bill's spirit will live on in so many. He will be dearly missed. As "Bill the Sailor" would close every note, Love & Blessings to all.
