We are deeply saddened to announce the
passing of our beloved Father, Bill Frieday, on August 7, 2023, in Collingwood,
ON. He was 89 years old and died peacefully at Hospice Georgian Triangle surrounded
by his family. He was cared for until the end by a circle of family and a team
of kind health professionals who made him feel the utmost care and comfort. We
are incredibly grateful for their support and deep love for him.
Bill was a remarkable man who dedicated his
life to community service. He touched the lives of many people with his
kindness, generosity, compassion, and sense of humour. He was also a loving
