Of London, passed peacefully, with family by his side, on Tuesday, February 23, 2021, at the age of 100. Beloved husband of Iris for 77 years. Cherished father of Penny Myers (Bain), Jill Thomson (Robert Horn), and Keith Thomson (Diana). Proud Grandpa of Christopher Myers (Jenn), Lisa Casaubon (Sean), Lindsay Myers (Phil), Max Thomson (Sasha); and great-grandfather of Laila, Ana, Jackson and Baxter. Sadly missed by many nieces and nephews. Bill was a veteran of World War II, with the 17th Duke of York’s Royal Canadian Hussars. The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff at Parkwood Institute – Veterans Care for all of their compassionate care they provided to Bill during his stay.

Laura and I were welcomed to the neighbourhood by Bill (and Iris). The wonderful thing about knowing the Thomson couple is we got to meet the family members. Our lives were enhanced by Bill. I know that he will say 'Hi' to Laura in heaven because he always said Hi to her on earth. My best to the family.

My mother was blessed to have six strapping younger brothers. All different, scattered all over North America raising families. Creating an army of cousins to carry on the Thomson name. Uncle Bill was the oldest. He followed into battle his father who fought in the war that was supposed to end all wars. Bill's service in WWII honoured his family and his country. As the last surviving Thomson of that generation he will be missed. The memories of everyone growing up together will not grow old.

~ Bruce and Alison Heffer

Heartfelt condolences Keith, Di and Family. He lived 100 years, married to Iris for 77; three children, grand children and great grandchildren and years of service to his country and community - that's quite a legacy to be proud of.
