STANLEY, WILLIAM "BILL" EDGAR - It is with a deep sense of loss that William Edgar (Bill) Stanley’s family announces his passing on Tuesday, October 21. 2014. The son of the late Gordon and Doris (Edgar) Stanley, Bill was born in Saint John, NB on August 23, 1950. He will be sadly missed by his son Rob and daughter-in-law, Angie and their four children: Kieran, Rory, Cait, and Maeve, of Milton, ON; his brother, Jim and his wife Barb; his sisters, Carol Thorne and her husband, Ray, and Chris Nelson and her husband Gary; as well as several nieces, nephews and great-nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his dear wife, Debby and his beloved son, Billy. During his lifetime, Bill had a number of successful careers, including management positions in various branches of the CIBC. After he left the banking business, he ventured into the field of insurance brokering and investment counselling, which turned out to be his real passion; and for the past 21 years he has been the co-owner of Security Holdings Ltd., a financial planning center in Hampton, NB.
