In Loving Memory of William (Bill) Giggie
1942 – 2023
GIGGIE, William (Bill) Morrison.
After a valiant battle with many health issues, Bill has left us to reunite in heaven with his beloved mother, Isabel Giggie & father, Robert Giggie on September 10, 2023.
Left to mourn are his much-loved sister, Rosalie Blackmore (late Robert) of the Miramichi and along with his extended family. He will be missed by his best friend of many years, Tom Simpson.
Bill was a long-term employee of Canada Post as a computer programmer & remained active in the Federal Retirees Union for many years. Bill also offered his time and talents to many organizations, being a proud member of Eastview Branch of the Canadian Legion, the Ottawa Masonic Lodge, the Ottawa Tunis Shriners, Dominion Chalmers United Church and served for many years on the Board at Chateau Vanier.
After retirement, he volunteered in a variety of roles at soup kitchens, non-profit housing organizations, food cupboards and anywhere he could offer his time. Bill had a deep Christian faith that embraced everyone. He had an amazing, deep belly laugh and a unique perspective on life but one that respected other points of view. He will be missed by so many, especially his “first cousin” Dawn Goodridge.
A Celebration of Life for Bill was held at Miramichi Wesleyan Church, 52 Nelson St., Miramichi, on Saturday, September 23, 2023, at 11 AM with Pastor Anton Topilnyckyj as Officiant. Music for the service was provided by Pianist, Lois McKinnon and Soloist, Louise Topilnyckyj. The hymns were: "In the Garden", "What a Friend", "Amazing Grace", and "How Great Thou Art". The Eulogy was by Cheryl Stewart. Various guests in attendance also shared memories of Bill. A reception took place at the church following the service. Interment was in the Moorefield Cemetery.
As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Miramichi Wesleyan Church, or a charity of the donor’s choice would be appreciated by the family.
Arrangements are entrusted to Adams Funeral Home Ltd., 140 King St., Miramichi, NB, telephone (506) 773-3492. Additionally, messages of condolence may be shared online at www.adamsfh.ca
