John (1930-2008)
Retired Vice President and Sales Manager - Strathcona Paper Company
Bill passed away peacefully at Saint Mary's of the Lake in Kingston,
Ontario, on July 4, 2008. He leaves his wife, Marjorie

after 53 years of a very happy marriage. He is also survived
by his brother Edward and his children, Bruce (Marjorie) Napanee,
Anne (Alan
KARY) Toronto, Julie (Rod
LANCEFIELD) Kanata and Donald
FINLAY,
Aurora,
Ontario.
Bill was a devoted family man whose
greatest joy was to be surrounded by his children and his grandchildren,
the Lancefield boys, Andy, Bobby and Steven, The Karys, Abigail
Joy (Abbie) and Sam, and William James (Jamie)
FINLAY.
Bill was
the fourth generation of a paper-making family and when the Company
was sold in 1974 to the Roman Corporation it was the end of an
era. It was the last of the independent family-owned mills of
its kind in Canada. Bill stayed on with the Roman Corp. as a
Vice President and Sales Manager until his retirement in 1988.
He grew up in the village of Strathcona and graduated from Queen's
University, Science '54 (Mechanical) and the Western School of
Business, London, Ontario. Bill took a keen interest in Masonry
and was a life member and Past Master of Union Lodge No. 9, Frontenac
District. He served as District Deputy Grand Master in 1981/82 and
for many years enjoyed the camaraderie of the 81ders. He was
a firm believer in Community involvement and for several years
ser ved on the Board of Governors of the Lennox and Addington
General Hospital and was past Chairman, he was the founding Chair
of the Hospital Foundation. His Faith and his Church were very
important to Bill and he attended and actively supported Trinity
United Church in Napanee for over 50 years. His sense of humour,
quick wit and inexhaustible supply of puns will be sadly missed
by all who knew him. The family is truly grateful for the support
and care of so many, Doctor
