William “Bill” Delbert Splan beloved husband of the late Mary ‘Evelyn’ Moffat of Teeswater, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family at the Kincardine Hospital at the age of 87. He was the son of the late Clara Harriet (nee Caswell) and William Delbert Splan, of Kincardine. Predeceased by siblings brother John (Jack), and sisters Marjorie (Jean) and Hilda. Dearly missed by surviving step-children Janet Harrison (late Rick) of Lac La Biche, Alberta, Cathy Fleming (John) of Allenford, Ontario, Wade Gibson (Janice) of Amberley, Ontario, Glen Gibson (Rita) of Edmonton, Alberta, and Mary Gibson of Kincardine. Fondly remembered by several grand children, great grand children, nieces, nephews, friends and neighbours. Bill’s family and many friends will attest that he lived life to the fullest, never shied away from an adventure, and loved to travel in earlier years. A man who was always involved in the community, he sponsored minor soccer teams and was involved with local service clubs. For many years Bill operated a successful flooring business well known in Kincardine and area as “Splan The Carpet Man”. A life-long resident, Bill loved to relate stories of local characters and history and has contributed memorabilia and photos to many of the historical collections to be found around town. The family would like to extend their many thanks to Dr. Murray and Dr. Gunaratne, the emergency staff and palliative care staff at the Kincardine Hospital for their kindness and care to Bill and family, during his short stay. A private graveside service will be held at a later date in Kincardine. A celebration of life will be held at a future date.Donations
