William James Johnston
O.L.S and O.L.I.P.
William J. Johnston of Winchester passed away
peacefully, following a brief illness, at Winchester District
Memorial Hospital on Thurs., May 13, 2010, in his 76th year.
He was the beloved husband of Sherrill Johnston and the loving
father of Kelly (Michael) Vincent, Gordon (Linda), Sandy (Erin),
and Scott (Skye). He will be fondly remembered by eight grandchildren.
"Bill" was a devoted husband, father, uncle, and grandfather.
He thrived as a local businessman and was respected for his involvement
in the community for 43 years. His interests included the Lions
Club, Curling Club, and various charities. Bill remained a devout
member of the Presbyterian Church up until his passing. He and
his family spent much of their time with his love of boating in
the 1000 Islands. His proud Scottish heritage was evident with
his passion for gardening - his father's passion as well. Bill
will be dearly missed by all - the Lord is very lucky to have
received such a man.
At Bill's request, a private family service was held at Daniels
Funeral Chapels Inc. in Winchester. Inurnment was at Maitland
Cemetery.
