McClintock, William Alexander Russell
May 30th, 1937 ~ May 7th, 2015
It is with profound sorrow that we announce that William (Bill) McClintock passed away peacefully at home after a courageous battle with cancer at the age of 77.
Bill is survived by Carrol, his loving wife of 43 years; his children Tammy, Cheryl, Rob, Rod (Shirley), Curtis, Levi and Shawn (Deanna); 18 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren; sisters Vi, Jessie, Hazel and Brenda; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
Bill was predeceased by his parents Bob and Muriel, his first wife Anne, his siblings Pearl, Elgin, Eva, Wilma, Gordie, Randy and Marlene, all of Manitoba and granddaughter Tessa of Bonneyville, Alberta.
Bill was born in Crystal City, Manitoba and worked on the family farm in Pembina River Valley. His career began as a pipeliner, then many years as a long haul truck driver, equipment operator and dispatcher. He finally retired at the age of 75. Bill moved his family to Valleyview, Alberta in 1984. They also resided in Peace River for 12 years before settling in Edson in 2003.
Bill was a wonderful storyteller and a comedian in his own mind. His favourite thing to do was go fishing in Northern Manitoba with his family. He was always after ‘the big one, ’ but Carrol skunked him every time! The only thing he loved more than fishing was his family. They meant the world to him and he enjoyed many hours playing and teasing his grandchildren and great grandchildren. He also enjoyed time spent with friends, helping them to farm during the day and playing many hands of cards in the evening.
A heartfelt thank you to the fantastic palliative care team. We are forever grateful to Marilyn Oishi for going above and beyond. Also special thanks to our friend and neighbour Judy Antonello who was always there to offer help and support.
A celebration of Bill’s life will be held in Edson, Alberta on May 16th, 2015. A second celebration of life will be held in Manitoba where his ashes will be spread in the Pembina Valley, as per his request.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Edson Palliative Care in Bill’s name.
