Devoted Brother to Gerry (Lois)‎. Loving son of the late Heber James and Lillian Stephenson. Bill was a caring father and respected journalist/broadcaster who will be deeply missed by all those fortunate enough to have known him. His passion for sports quickly lead him to a successful broadcasting career first as sports director of CKWX in Vancouver and then as Sports Director of CFRB in Toronto for over 40 years. He made many friends from all walks of life and a charitable man who supported many charities.
