Bill was born in Kitchener, lived and worked in Elmira, eventually retiring to Southampton. His talent and passion for woodworking was evident as he lovingly restored the Old Tolmie House, where he displayed his cooking skills during the years of the bed & breakfast and large family dinners in the grand dining room. Gardening, caring for the birds, his coi pond and model boat building filled his days when they moved to the house on the lane. Bill, Poppa, Willie will be greatly missed, but lovingly remembered by his family and friends.

A private family graveside service for Bill Perrott will be held at Williamsburg Cemetery, Kitchener. If desired, memorial donations may be made to Faith Lutheran Church, Port Elgin, to the Salvation Army Foodbank, Port Elgin, or to the Saugeen Memorial Hospital Auxiliary.
