William (Bill) John Sadler
Dec 18/1940 - Oct 22/2021
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our much loved father, William (Bill) Sadler. On the morning of Friday Oct 22/2021 in Squamish BC at the age of 80, he passed peacefully with his family by his side. He was predeceased by his parents Mel and Flo, his wife Linda of 56 years, and his sister Janet. Bill is Survived by his three loving daughters, Debbie (Mike), Carol (Kym), Barb (John), and his 5 precious grandchildren, Kristy, Courtney, Kaitlyn, Levi, Brodi, and was also blessed with 2 great grandchildren, Cameron and Gavin. Also left to mourn are many nieces, nephews, in laws, Kootenay cousins and friends.
Born to Mel and Flo Sadler in Trail B.C. Bill eventually moved to Squamish in 1962. This is where he met the love of his life Linda, where they made Squamish their forever home raising their three daughters. Bill took great pride in his working career behind the wheel, driving Squamish Coach lines, transport trucks, Squamish Transit and school bus, finally retiring at the age of 77.
Dads passion was music. He played drums, piano, organ, accordion, and loved to sing along to his favourite songs. Along with his music, he always had a quick wit and rhyming talent, this provided years of endless entertainment for his family and friends. He was a dedicated family man and we will be forever grateful for his kind heart, honesty, support and
unconditional love! He will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.
For his love of trains:
“When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away your ticket and jump off. You sit still and
trust the engineer’.
~ Corrie Ten Boom
A special thanks to Dr. Bohn, the nursing staff at Squamish General Hospital and to the incredible Dr. Miller, Dr. Bull and the amazing nurses at Sea to Sky Hospice Society who provided the upmost loving care to our father and to our family, during this difficult time. In lieu of flowers a donation in Bills name to the Sea to Sky Hospice Society.
A celebration of life for both Bill and Linda will be held at the Squamish Funeral Chapel on Saturday, Nov 27-2021
