WAKEFIELD, William (Bill)

WAKEFIELD, William (Bill) passed away on April 29, in Victoria, BC, at the age of 92.

Bill is lovingly remembered by his wife of 67 years, Margaret; his children Thomas, Sarah, and John (Sheri); and his grandsons James (Elly), Steve (Amber), Liam, and Isaac.

Bill devoted his life to education, with a career that spanned from Britain to British Columbia.

He retired as Assistant Superintendent of the Delta School District, later settling on Salt Spring Island from 1996 to 2016, before moving to Victoria, where he cherished the view of the ocean.

He was a true gentleman—kind, thoughtful, and dedicated to making the world a better place.

He will be deeply missed.

As per his wishes, no formal funeral service will be held.

A private family gathering will take place when his ashes are interred.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charity of your choice.
