Wilbert Alexander Fumerton.

Bill, born in Arnprior, was a dearly loved and devoted husband to Marian for 70 years, and a beloved father of Richard (Monika), Jeff (Ellen), Barbara (Rod), and predeceased by daughter Wendy (2015) and son Mark (2023). He was a cherished grandfather of Carrie, Andrew, Chad, Nathan, Olivia, Scott, and Vanessa (Stephen). He was the dear brother of Mary Craig and Lorraine Hanson and was predeceased by his siblings, Alma McNab, Audrey Bayford, Harriet Campbell, Herbert, and Shirleyann Ellis. He will be missed by his many nieces and nephews. Bill had a lengthy career at Playtex in Arnprior and Malton. A long-time resident of Brampton, he retired to Braeside and then Arnprior.

Bill was an amazing man who loved his family deeply. He cherished every moment spent with them and was adored by all who knew him. He loved the outdoors and was an active hunter and fisherman. He always looked forward to fishing with his sons, grandchildren, and the regular gang at Norcan Lake every May. This annual fishing trip turned into a cherished tradition, creating countless memories that will be treasured forever. In his retirement years, he enjoyed volunteering and curling. His heart was big, and his passion for life, dedication to his family and kind spirit touched everyone he met.
