William “Bill” Thomas Braid

Obituary

Passed on

October 19th, 1939 – October 30th, 2017 We regret to announce the sudden passing of William “Bill” Thomas Braid, 78, of Teulon, Manitoba, on October 30th, 2017.  Bill was survived by his siblings, Gerry (Willard), Arthur, Ginny; his daughters, Cindy (Dave), Kathryn (Scott), Andrea (Lorne); his 12 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Bill was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba where he went to school in River Heights. He left school to join the Air Force where he was trained to be an air frame specialist. Later, Bill went on to work for Xerox as a senior technician until retirement in 2006. He enjoyed his post-retirement years on his beautiful property near Teulon, MB. This is where Bill hosted the annual world lawn dart and bocce ball tournament for 35 years which has provided friends and family with a life time of laughs and cherished memories. Bill had a soft spot in his heart for the pets that he had over the years, including his two Papillons, Jitterbug and Rocky. Bill was known for his kind, generous nature, his witty sense of humour, and his keen intellect. He had collected National Geographic magazines for the past 50 years, and took interest in a wide range of science and nature topics later on in life “to keep the mind sharp”. Bill was truly one of a kind and he will be greatly missed. As per Bill’s wishes, there will be no funeral service held.
