We regret to advise of the death of Master Corporal William Thomas “Bill” Sigsworth, CD (Ret’d) on 5 February 2024 in Williams Lake BC at age 64 after his battle with cancer.
Bill was born in Gander NL and his father’s work moved the family many places including Halifax NS, Puntzi Lake BC, Wembley AB, Beaverlodge AB, and Prince George BC. The family made their final move to Williams Lake in 1970 where Bill attended school prior to joining the Canadian Armed Forces in 1978. He served a 28-year career with the Canadian Military Engineers as a Plumbing and Heating Technician during which time he raised a family of 10 children.
After retiring from the Armed Forces in 2007 in Cold Lake AB, Bill and his family settled in Williams Lake BC where they welcomed their 11th child. For his second career, Bill spent 16 years serving the community as a renowned plumber at Burgess Plumbing Heating and Electrical. In his spare time, Bill enjoyed being outdoors either fishing, quadding, camping, or spending weekends at the cabin with his family.
In accordance with Bill's wishes there will be no funeral service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his memory to the Royal Canadian Legion-Branch 139.
