It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of William (Bill) Arthur Dixon, who peacefully passed away on May 14, 2025, at the age of 93 at McNally Hospice in Grimsby, Ontario. Born on August 25, 1931, in Toronto, Bill was the son of William Eastland and Winifred Dixon.

Bill leaves behind his children: Brad (Vicki), Beth (Stephen), and Brian, along with six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, all of whom brought him immense joy. As well as co-founder of the Niagara-on-the-Lake Rotary Chapter, he was a dedicated Rotarian with the Willowdale Chapter, Bill lived a life committed to service, kindness, and family.

His career was focused on family-owned businesses, and he worked diligently to support his family and community. He is predeceased by his beloved wife of nearly 60 years, Margaret (Peggy), his son Bruce and wife Susan, Bill’s first wife Mollie (Ryan), and his parents.

A funeral service will be held at St. George’s on the Hil, 4600 Dundas Street West, on May 29th. Visitation begins at 1:00 pm, followed by the service at 2:00 pm, with refreshments afterward. Alternative participation will be made available via Live Stream beginning at 2:00 pm on May 29th.
