STEPHENSON, William (Bill) Douglas - Passed peacefully on Tuesday, July 22, 2014 surrounded by his family. Bill is survived by his loving wife Louise of 66 years; and his five children. Loving father of Ron (Gail), Terry (Freda), Doug (Sue), Pam (Ed) and Julie (Peter). Proud Poppa of 11 grandchildren, Carey (Brenden), Michael (Becky), James, Melissa, William, Robert, Daniel, Griffin and Samantha, Max (Christine), Nicole and great- grandchildren Ashleigh and Marcus. Devoted brother to Gerry (Lois). Loving son of the late Heber James and Lillian Stephenson. Bill was a caring father and respected journalist/broadcaster who will be deeply missed by all those fortunate enough to have known him. His passion for sports quickly lead him to a successful broadcasting career first as sports director of CKWX in Vancouver and then as Sports Director of CFRB in Toronto for over 40 years. He made many friends from all walks of life and a charitable man who supported many charities. The family requests that all condolences be directed to www.skinnerandmiddlebrook.com and donations to the if (!aa) var aa = { iframes : new Array(), random : function() { return Math.round(Math.random() * 10000000000); }, pageNum : Math.round(Math.random() * 10000000000), refresh : function(iframeId) { if (typeof(iframeId) != 'undefined') { var iframe = document.getElementById(iframeId); if (iframe) { iframe.name = iframeId; var oldSrc = iframe.src || iframe.getAttribute('data-src'); var newSrc = oldSrc.replace(/misc=[0-9]+/, 'misc=' + aa.random()); if (newSrc !== undefined) { var newFrame = iframe.cloneNode(true); newFrame.src = newSrc; iframe.parentNode.replaceChild(newFrame, iframe); } } } else { for (var i in this.iframes) this.refresh(this.iframes[i]); } } }; //no AJAX refresh for inline ads aa.adServer = 'http://media2.legacy.com/'; aa.target = ''+ '/3.0'+ '/5306.1'+ '/1400071'+ '/0'+ '/-1/size=30x1'+ '/adtech;'+ 'alias=legacy.thestar.lifestory.30x1.1.1;'+ 'target=_blank;'+ 'key=' + escape('CCSONTARIO') + ';'+ 'kvopenextapp=' + escape('1') +';'+ 'kvcobrand=' + escape('thestar') +';'+ 'kvpersonid=' + escape('171850267') +';'+ 'sub1=' + escape('Canadian Cancer Society') + ';'+ 'sub2=' + escape('https://secure2.convio.net/cco/site/SPageServer?pagename=on_donationapi_direct&donform=permem&s_src=Legacy.com&s_subsrc=CLIO&utm_source=Legacy.com&utm_content=CLIO&utm_campaign=DONATIONS_ON') + ';'; if (typeof aa !== 'undefined' && typeof aa.kvscreenwidth !== 'undefined') aa.target += 'kvscreenwidth=' + escape(aa.kvscreenwidth()) + ';'; if (typeof aa !== 'undefined' && typeof aa.criteo !== 'undefined') aa.target += aa.criteo; aa.src = aa.adServer + 'addyn' + aa.target + 'grp=' + aa.pageNum +';misc=' + aa.random(); document.write("<div data-src='" + aa.src + "\' id='e13c4dae3934443faf58201cf9bc6c58' class='scriptHolder' style='display:inline;'><\/div>"); Canadian Cancer Society or Ian Anderson House to be acknowledged in lieu of flowers.
