Obituary for William Eric Bush
After a lengthy illness, Bill passed away August 8, 2017 at his home near Stonewall, Manitoba at the age of 72 years.
Bill is survived by his loving wife Jan of 46 years, sister Gloria Miller and brother-in-law Bruce Soper. All of Bill’s nieces and nephews and their families were very special to him.
Bill was predeceased by his parents Eric and Edna Bush, step father Joe Van Steelant, sister Joyce Soper, brother-in-law Ron Miller and parents-in-law Frank and Irene Dupuis.
Bill had fond memories of his early years growing up in Neepawa and his teen years in Stony Mountain.
Bill enjoyed all sports. He loved the sport of curling and in 1964, Bill and his teammates from Stonewall Collegiate won the Canadian High School Championship for Manitoba. Bill enjoyed working on different committees for the Stony Mountain Curling Club. He played football, baseball and hockey starting at an early age in Neepawa. His favourite team, when he was older, was the “Moncton Moonies” with all of his close buddies.
He worked in the Rental Business from an early age until his retirement. He worked his way up to Sales Associate at United Rentals. Bill made many friends throughout his career. He was on the Board of the Canadian Rental Association for many years. He was president in 1990 for the C.R.A. Manitoba Local. He did a lot of traveling to conventions where he made many friends from across Canada.
Bill’s sense of humour and practical jokes are legendary to his family and friends.
For many years, Bill loved to spend time at the cottage at Lee River enjoying the outdoors and entertaining.
In 2007, Bill and Jan decided to return to his country roots and settled near Stonewall and Stony Mountain until his passing.
Jan would like to give special thanks to some of his close friends who were always there for him and you know who you are. A special thank you to the Stonewall Paramedics for their kindness and professionalism.
No formal service will be held.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charity of your choice.
