Willian Carl John Whetstone
It is with profound sadness that the family of Willian Carl John Whetstone announces his peaceful passing on October 27, 2024 at the age of 90.
Bill will be lovingly remembered by Patricia, his beloved wife of 67 years; his son Mark (Judy); his daughter Brenda (Phil); his grandchildren Sam (Katherine), Max (Lindsay), Charlie (Chloe) Clark, Conrad (Demi) and Jean; and great-grandchildren; Art, Beckett, Rae, Banks and Bridget.
Bill was born on February 24, 1934 in Owen Sound, Ontario.
On April 1, 1953, Bill joined the RCMP and because of his strong work ethic and dedication, he rose to the rank of Staff Sergeant. He earned a reputation of being a meticulous investigator in his position as an RCMP officer.
The family would like to thank the compassionate staff of Good Samaritan Hospital, the caring healthcare aides who attended to him through his battle with dementia as well as the caring staff of the Royal Alexandra Hospital.
In memory of Bill, donations may be made to The Alzheimer’s Society.
There will be a private ceremony/memorial at a later date. In the meantime, raise a glass of cheer and toast to Bill and remember all the fond memories you have of him.
We love you dad.
Our deepest sympathy to you Pat and family. We were so sad to hear about Bill’s passing but know he is at peace and not struggling no more. We always enjoyed our visits with you and him.
Don and Rita Belke
