CAESAR, William Ross (Bill) - It is with great sadness that the family of Bill announces his passing on January 13th, 2012. Bill died peacefully at the Stayner Nursing Home in his 85th year. Survived by his wife of 59 years, Ruth Caesar, his son, Dan and his wife Karen, his grandchildren, Daniel and Natasha and his great grandson, Riley. His parents were Edward and Elizabeth Caesar. His brother was Ted (Eli) Caesar and their children Larry, Ruth (Jim) and John (Marlene) and their families. Bill was born in Fergus, Ontario and was raised in Carley, Ontario near Orillia. During WWII, Bill served in the Royal Canadian Navy. After the war, he eventually was hired by Ontario Hydro which brought he and Ruth to North Bay in the 1950's. Bill worked at Ontario Hydro's Northeastern Regional Office until he retired in 1983. Bill and Ruth enjoyed their retirement in North Bay and they moved to Collingwood, Ontario in 2007 to be closer to their family. Bill enjoyed his home and was also a member of the Nipissing Coin Club. At Bill's request, cremation has taken place and a private family burial will take place at a later date in North Bay, "his True Home". (The North Bay Nugget 01 Feb 2012)
