Born Arnprior, ON
May 24, 1934 – August 7, 2023
We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved Father, Bill Frieday, on Monday August 7, 2023, in Collingwood, ON. He was 89 years old and died peacefully at Hospice Georgian Triangle surrounded by his family. He was cared for until the end by a circle of family and a team of kind health professionals who made him feel the utmost care and comfort. We are incredibly grateful for their support and deep love for him.
Bill was a remarkable man who dedicated his life to community service. He touched the lives of many people with his kindness, generosity, compassion, and sense of humour. He was also a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, friend, and business associate. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Some fun facts about Bill: He supplied Tim Horton with his first donut boxes. He saw the Maple Leafs win the Stanley Cup in 1967. He was the Master of Wexford Masonic Lodge in Scarborough, President of Wasaga Lions Club, Wasaga Beach Citizen of the Year and Publisher of Beach Booster in Wasaga Beach.
Bill is predeceased by his wife of 65 years, Bev Frieday (nee Nicholls). Loving Father of Patti Kennedy and Peter Frieday (Crystal). Sadly missed by his grandchildren Cameron Hoit (Angela), Lindsay Parkinson (Phil), Taylor Hoit (Shaun), Blair Kennedy (Alyssa) & Lauren Frieday, his great-grandchildren and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and other relatives. He was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Louise Frieday of Arnprior, ON. Bill will always be remembered for his love of people, patience, creativity, leadership, and his devotion to his entire family.
Cremation and a private family gathering have already taken place; entrusted to Carruthers & Davidson Funeral Home, Wasaga Beach, ON.
Donations to Hospice Georgian Triangle Foundation would be a thoughtful way to remember Bill.
