Obituary for William James Gibb
William James Gibb
On May 15, 2021, at the age of 82. William (Bill) is predeceased by his loving wife Christine (née Nedin, 2009). Much loved father of Julie and husband Christian, Rusty, Tina and husband Mark. Adored grandfather of Mackenzie, Jakob, Annie, Elia, and great-grandchildren, Harriet and George. Dear brother of Barbara and husband Marvin; brother-in-law of Michael Nedin and wife Cindy and sister-in-law, Nina Nedin. Bill will be lovingly remembered by many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends, and most especially by his dog, MacDuff.
Bill retired from Canada Post after 35 years of service. Additionally, Bill served the town of Amherstburg for 21 years as Councillor, Deputy Reeve, and Mayor, the latter for 12 years. He gave 19 years of service to the Amherstburg Community Credit Union. In addition, Bill served on the St. Clair College Board of Governors. He provided endless hours of energy and time to better the community where he was born and raised. Over the years, he coached many youth and adult teams in baseball, basketball and hockey. Bill was an avid gardener and also volunteered with the Amherstburg Horticultural Society. Bill was well respected by all who knew him. He was quick-witted, adventuresome, very personable and kind. Most of all, Bill loved his family dearly.
The family wishes to thank the staff at Richmond Terrace for the loving and thoughtful care they provided this past year.
Donations to the Alzheimer's Society will be gratefully appreciated. Cremation has taken place.
Bill's family requests photos, videos, and written memories for inclusion in a memorial video they will share later. Submissions will be received at info@folksblogen.com no later than May 30. We'd love to hear from you.
