With love and respect, we announce the passing of Bill MacPherson on July 14,2023 in the Town of Huntsville. Married to Kimberley for almost 44 years and Dad to sons Zachary and Spencer and daughter Connor (Andrew). Bill was predeceased by his parents Oscar and Dorothy MacPherson of Barrie, Ont. He was supported, loved and cheered on by his siblings Jim, Mary, Gordon and their families.
Many in Huntsville will know him as Billy Mac, musician and artist, but to his family, he was so much more. With a project on the go at all times, he managed to squeeze in a 30 year teaching career, while owning and operating Blue Heron Productions and The Performance School.
Whether hiking, golfing, fishing, riding his motorcycle, boating or curling, he approached life with enthusiasm. There was nothing that didn't interest him and he was the definition of a life-long learner. Bill's motto was "lf there is a day to be lived, then let's live it!"
Our family will always be thankful for the incredible medical team that surrounded Bill on this journey. With their care, he was able to fill every day to the brim. We would like to thank Doctors Li and Gladwish at RVH, the wonderful staff in the Huntsville Chemo suite, Lindsay and all the caring nurses from Closing the Gap, Megan Yates for your constant support and the incredible Palliative Care Team. Thank you Norma for always being at the end of the phone. Special thanks to Dr. Deb Harrold whose knowledge and compassion will never be forgotten. Finally, thank you to Doctors Kirkpatrick and McDermott for the work you do.
A Celebration of Life for Bill will take place at Morgan House (Timber Terrace) on August 24,2023 from 1:00 to 4:00. Please come and share your memories.
Bill made it his special mission to support Hospice Huntsville through his creative earnings. Donations in his honour would be appreciated.
