William "Bill" Leigh
April 2, 1933 - September 2, 2025
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of William "Bill" Leigh, who left us peacefully on September 2,2025, after 92 years.
Bill was a most loving, kind, and generous man who was always there for his family and friends. His substantial love for his family was evident by the pride he had for his children, their spouses, and grandchildren.
Bill led a very successful career in food manufacturing and packaging. Eventually, he retired but continued his involvement in the industry through teaching at professional conferences.
His greatest love was his family. Countless number of years were spent camping, sitting by the campfire, and greeting familiar friends each year in Algonquin. When not camping, hosting family dinners and the annual "lobster fest" gave him great pride.
Bill was predeceased by his beloved wife, Mildred and grandson, Colin (Michelle}. He is survived by his loving children, Debra (Ted), Michelle (Lola (deceased}), Brian (Joanne} and Andrea (Mike} as well as his grandchildren Lauren, Jennifer (Matthew}, Nicholle, Meagan (Lukas}. Caitlyn and Lindsey. He will be remembered fondly by his extended family and friends.
Our family extends our heartfelt gratitude to all the staff, nurses, and doctors at Venvi Guildwood Retirement Residence and Scarborough Health Network. They all were instrumental in ensuring Bill's comfort during this last year.
We love you and will miss you very much. You will be in our hearts forever and we will treasure the precious memories that we have shared together. May you rest in eternal peace.
At Bill's request, immediate family will gather together to celebrate his life.
