BROCK, Bill   - Peacefully at home on Thursday, February 28, 2019 in Port Perry at the age of 87.

Beloved husband of Claudette for 55 years.

Devoted father of Marina (Ross), Michael (Colleen), Peter (Melissa) and Juliana (Jamie) and proud “Grand papa” to Taylor, Jesse, Lindsay, Zoe, Ethan, Simon, Cameron, Payton, Brandon, Marin and Hannah.

Bill was predeceased by his parents Arthur Brock and Marguerite Brock (Jackson).

Bill was born and raised in Port Perry along with his sister Georgia. He attended Port Perry High School then went on to earn his B.Com. at Victoria College at the University of Toronto and an Arts degree in languages from Queen’s University.

He met the love of his life, Claudette, at Toronto Teacher’s College. Bill was an avid traveler and explored Europe before settling down to marriage and a career in teaching, first at Sharbot Lake, then overseas at the Canadian Air Force Base at Marville, France, then in Ancaster and finally at Port Perry High School for 21 years in the French, Latin, Business and Library departments. 

He will be dearly missed. Our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Mercer and the Lakeridge Health Port Perry team, nurse Shannon, and the personal support workers at VHA and Home Instead for all the wonderful and compassionate care they provided.

Friends and family may call at the Wagg Funeral Home, Port Perry, on Tuesday March 5th from 2 - 4 and 7 – 9 p.m.  A celebration of Bill’s life will be held in the Chapel on Wednesday March 6th at 2 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations to Oak Ridges Hospice of Durham Ltd. or Port Perry Hospital Foundation are appreciated.
