He was predeceased by his parents Bruce and Margaret (Armstrong) McKay and his sister Anne Crawford (2024) also by his grandson Matthew Joseph Spriel (2001). Loving grandfather of 16 grandchildren, 30 great grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren; always proud of all their accomplishments.

Bill worked at Hutton Transport for 36 years. He always enjoyed driving, knew the best routes to go and talking about his travels. We would like to extend our gratitude to the incredible caregivers who helped to provide special care and support to him and his family. Thank you for being by our side with compassion and love.

Bill was a long time member of Lakeside Doric Corinthian Lodge number 569.

A private family graveside service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Brown’s United Church or VON Sakura House in Woodstock, Ont.

Bill’s absence leaves a hole in our hearts, but his spirit will live on in the stories, laughter and love he leaves behind.

Cheers to all!
