In Celebration of

William (Bill ⋅ Kobalt ⋅ Василь) Kowaltchuk

July 5, 1950 -  July 21, 2019

He was a fisherman, woodworker, golfer, cyclist, boater, skier, tennis player, biker, miner, kitchen designer, salesman, chess master, calligrapher, poker player, sudoku fanatic, nature lover. He was funny. He was handsome and strong. He was gentle, kind and generous. He always made you feel welcome, safe and cared for. Except for having two left feet and not being able to carry a tune, he was pretty damn near perfect. A beloved husband, father, son, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, godfather, co-worker and friend. He was our hero. Gone much too soon. In our hearts forever. Missing you dearly.

In his memory, donations can be made to the:
ARTHRITIS RESEARCH FOUNDATION
(for Dr. Johnson's Scleroderma Research)
522 University Avenue, Suite 1001
Toronto M5G 1W7
Registration # 119290773RR0001
