Passed into the arms of his Heavenly Father in the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre, Toronto, on Sunday, March 3, 2024 with his family at his side. He was one month short of his 80th birthday. Bill is remembered for his 50 years of success as an investment banker, helping build some of the largest names in mining, and founder of IBK Capital Corp., which he worked at until the day he went into hospital.
Family was his number one priority and he delighted in having his children work in what became a family office. He also loved playing golf with them at the many charitable golf tournaments that IBK Capital sponsored. He was devoted to his many grandchildren. He was a philanthropist and mentor. He was good at everything he did. As he put it, he was “competitive.”

Dear brother of his identical twin Wayne (Barbara), and brother Brian (Marleene) Predeceased by his sister, Brenda. Devoted Grandpa of Emily, Elizabeth (“Elby”), William, Grace, Hope, Georgia and Ava. Loving uncle to his nieces and nephews.
In his own words: Let it be said of William F. White that he reached out for greater and tougher things because he followed the Lord “wholeheartedly,” confident that he could rest in God’s sufficiency to get the job done.
