Obituary for William Charles Stephen
William was born in Saskatchewan in 1938 to William and Anna Stephen.
Bill went to high school in Campion College in Regina before following his brother Ian to the University of Alberta, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce.
In 1962 Bill married Lorraine and they spent the last 57 years raising a family, travelling and enjoying their grandchildren and great grandchild.
Bill spent almost 30 years working in marketing at Shell Canada, where he made many lifelong friends and memories.
Following retirement, Bill joined Niakwa Country Club where he made many great friends as part of the Commodores over the course of the next 27 years.
When people think of Bill the first and most enduring quality was his sense of humour. He entertained friends and family his whole life, creating lasting memories for all he came across.
