William Frederick Culling

March 18, 2018

Jan 29, 1935 - Mar 18, 2018
No words can express our sadness and loss. After a brief struggle with pancreatic cancer, Bill passed peacefully at home with his wife and family at his side.

Bill was born in Kendal, SK, married Lil, the love of his life, and raised four children. They moved to BC in 1967. Taking early retirement from Trans Mountain Pipeline, they moved to Vernon in 1992.

Bill loved playing hockey, skiing, curling, tennis, racket ball and lawn bowling. He loved reading and crossword puzzles and was knowledgeable on a variety of topics. Bill and Lil enjoyed traveling and winters south.

Bill was liked by all. He had a smile that lit up a room. Bill loved to join the working guys at Sneakers and always had a story or joke to tell. For many years, Bill was a Canadian Legion member and an active member of the Knights of Columbus at St. James Church. He truly was kind, caring, loving and devoted to his family and faith.

Bill is lovingly remembered by his wife, Lil, of almost 62 years; his daughters: Colleen, Gayleen, and Paula; his son, Bill (Nancy); his four grandchildren, five great grandchildren, sister, Diane Worley (Dick); brother Terry Culling (Donna); many nieces, nephews and extended family.

The family is grateful for the exceptional help from Dr. G. Borchert; his receptionist, Diane; Dr. Lingor; Patti from Palliative Care; and other care providers.

We thank our good fortune and blessings for him always showing us what really matters and for leaving us with wonderful memories we will cherish. Rest in peace our beloved Daddy. Thoughts and prayers welcome; please do not send flowers.

At a later date, Father Peter Nguyen will officiate a mass for the family and a Celebration of Life.

Arrangements have been entrusted to PLEASANT VALLEY DIGNITY FUNERAL HOME, 4303 P.V. Road, Vernon, B.C. V1T 4M4 Phone: (250) 542-4333.
