William John Carl Whetstone
It is with profound sadness that the family of William John Carl 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 at The Good Samaritan Society, 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
Thank you. Will talk later
Our sincere sympathy. May your cherished memories bring you peace and comfort at this time.
Our deepest sympathy to you Pat and your family.
Hope it helps to know you’ll have loving memories of
Mr. Whetstone forever.
Pat, Mark & Brenda. It’s been a long journey since working in Didsbury and I remember those days like yesterday. 1969 until early 70 when he left NCO position in Didsbury I learned a lot from your dad about perfection in your work and had a lot of respect for his handling of police matters. Always thought he was one of the best images the Fiorce could have to represent the public. Thank you Bill for being part of my journey. Always remembered. RIP.
My deepest condolences to family and friends.
It was such a privilege serving as one of Mr Bill’s caregivers, learning alot from him and having fun memories during his last days with us. My condolences to his beloved family, and please be consoled by the fact that he had a such great life and is in a better place now.
Keep Resting in peace Mr Bill.
Melanie
