William "Bill" Girling

Peacefully on January 22, 2019 at Abbeylawn Manor Pickering, in his 90th year. Beloved husband of Jessica. Cherished father of Jackie, (Ian) Jennifer (deceased), (Dave) and Tricia. Adored by grandchildren Dave, (Shannon) and Katie. Proud great-grandfather of Josie. Bill had a long and distinguished career with Enbridge Gas, where he made many life long friends. He was an avid tennis player and gave unselfishly to the community. While he served on many boards of directors, his greatest passion was for Community Living, first in Toronto and then in Ajax, Whitby and Pickering, serving a total of 50 years. The family would like to extend their utmost thanks to the staff at Abbeylawn Manor for their unwavering care. A private cremation has taken place and a celebration of life will be held at The Simple Alternative, 1057 Brock Rd. Pickering (905-686-5589), on February 2, 2019 between 2-4 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations to Community Living Ajax, Whitby and Pickering would be greatly appreciated.
