September 9, 1939 – August 15, 2024
William (Bill) McKenzie passed away peacefully on Thursday, August 15, 2024, just 3 weeks shy of his 85th Birthday. Dear father of Derrick (Connie), Kevin, Chad (Kim) and their mother, Shirley Collins. Beloved grandfather of Jacob (Alicia) and Brendan (Sarah) and great grandfather of Isabella and James.
Bill was a quiet person who enjoyed his collectables, with a love for horses, the stock market and was long time devoted employee of Labatt’s. Special thanks to the amazing staff at Elmwood Place, and then McGarrell Place.
Cremation has taken place and a private family service will take place at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations to My Sisters Place in London would be greatly appreciated.
We are always willing to go where called upon but this image shows a visual of the communities that our included in our initial transportation fee. We offer a 40km radius from any of our 6 locations (Arva (London), Exeter, Grand Bend, Lucan, Seaforth, and Zurich). Any mileage beyond the included 40km will be charged a rate of $3/km (one way travel only).
So sad to hear of this news.
God bless and grateful pic of uncle Bill. I have the same pic of Bill’s mom ( my grandmother ). Rest in peace whisperin’ Bill.

Knew Bill for so many years at the brewery.
Super nice guy and a pleasure to talk with.
It’s been both a pleasure and an honour to have known him
One of the nicest guys I’ve known in my life.
You will be missed “Whispering Bill”.
Worked with Bill for many years at the brewery! Most times, you would find him on the sealer; but just as often on carton make-up or as a late man. In a place as noisy as the brewery was, his quiet manner was greatly appreciated.
Condolences to his family. A good guy. Ed Woods.
Bill had a long fruitful life full of memories with his family. Bill was supported and loved in his senior years by devoted family members focused on best actions regarding his care.
I trust he resting in eternal peace free from the pain and struggles in this world.
