It is with the greatest of sadness we share the sudden passing of William (Bill) Buie on Sunday, December 6, 2020.
William was born on July 18, 1944, the second eldest of Pat and Angus Buie’s 5 children. Bill treasured a close relationship with his siblings Trish, Kathy, John and Jim. This sibling love was strengthened by the relationships with their children and the time he spent with his nieces and nephews.
In 1968, while out with a mutual friend, Bill found himself at the home of Mary Joan Bradshaw; this was the night he met the love of his life. Bill and Mary were married on August 22, 1970 and spent over 50 years together. They have 3 children Jody, Laurie and Robert. Bill so loved his family and ensured we knew this every day. His love for Mary was the foundation and together they faced the world growing more in love daily.
The only thing Bill loved more than parenthood was grand-parenthood and his 6 grandchildren Parker, Brody, Cohen, Mylo, Georgia and Isabelle will miss their playmate, confidant and best friend. Bill lived a simple life with a strong core value of family and kindness which will live forever in future generations.
Bill is survived by his loving wife Mary Buie; children Jody (Rob) Forester, Laurie (Rich Michelli) Buie and Rob (Tina) Buie; adoring grandchildren Parker, Brody, Cohen, Mylo, Georgia and Isabelle; siblings Trish Wong, John (Marlene) Buie, Jim (Barb) Buie as well as several nieces, nephews and large extended family.
Bill was predeceased by his parents Angus and Carlotta (Pat) Buie; his sister and brother-in-law Kathryn (Kim) Marsland; mother-in-law Isabelle Bradshaw and father-in-law Ken Bradshaw.
A Celebration of Life for William was held on Friday, December 11, 2020 at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church.
