BURCHELL, William (Bill) John Edwin Burchell - February 23rd 1941 – Called home to the Lord February 22nd 2022. Loving and dedicated husband to Helen.
Proud father to James (Angie), Suzanne (Bob - predeceased), Michelle (Sashko) and Steven (Stan).
Very Proud grandfather to Jesse (Mark), Michael, Stephanie (Warren), Christopher, Lena-Rose (Spencer) and Emily and great-grandfather to Hunter.
Reunited in Heaven with his father Earl, his mother Mary and his brother David.
Dearly missed by his Bajo’s and sister-in-laws, nieces and nephews, godchildren and his friends that he considered to be his family.
Bill had many passions in life but his biggest was his wife, Helen. Their 60th wedding anniversary would have been February, 24th. From the moment he saw her at Jim’s Diner he was smitten. Bill loved life! Bill was a patriotic Canadian.
But his true faith was in the Church where he was a lector, eucharistic minister and with Helen, ran wedding preparation courses for young couples for many years.
He volunteered at dances and other events and was always willing to help anyone in need.
He even sang in the choir (off-key) but with gusto. He will be greatly missed by all.
Rest in Peace.
In lieu of flowers we humbly request that donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada.
The family will receive guests at the McEachnie Funeral Home., Ajax, on Sunday, February 27, 2022 from 1:00 p.m. too 6:00 p.m. Registration is required. Funeral Mass will take place at St. Francis de Sales Roman Catholic Church (1001 Ravenscroft Rd., Ajax Ontario L1T 4X1) on Tuesday, March 1, 2022 at 10:30 a.m.
