We regret to advise of the death of William Alfred “Bill” Andrews of Bronte ON on 6 June 2010 at the age of 87 years.

Bill, a veteran of the Second World War, was born in Ottawa. He enrolled in the Royal Canadian Engineers in Halifax NS in 1939 when he was only 16 years old. After basic training, he was shipped to England. He took part in the Juno Beach landings in Normandy on D-Day and continued to serve as the Canadian Army advanced through France, Belgium and Holland. After returning home from the war in 1945, Bill started a career as an engineer with Boeing in Toronto. He retired from Boeing in 1980 and met his future wife at the Royal Canadian Legion when he moved to Oakville. They later settled in Bronte where Bill remained an active member of the Legion.
