We Remember

HOBBS, William Thomas “Bill”

April 7, 1934 — February 6, 2024

Bill Hobbs, age 89, a farmer, dancer, and a father and son, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, at 6:05 am in Kelowna General Palliative. Bill and his devoted 2nd wife, Jackie (who passed in 2013), have been reunited on that great dance floor in sky. He was also predeceased by his loving son, Will, in 2020; his siblings, June and Philip; and his 1st wife, Rosalyn “Lynn”.

Bill was born April 7, 1934, in Leighton Buzzard, England to the late Tom & Ethel Hobbs. Bill is survived by his two loving daughters, Kimberly and Sherrill (Steven), and by his amazing grandkids, Tristyn and Trent. He will also be missed dearly by his two sisters, Janet and Pam; his many, many friends at the community dances, the Legion, and at the Army & Navy.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Memorial donations may be made to the Central Okanagan Hospice House.

    What sad news. He was such a gentleman and friend. I could always count on him to ask me to dance, even though I wasn’t good at it. There will be dancing in Heaven Bill so kick up your heels. Thanks for sweet memories.

  • Michelle Colley (nee Rayburn) says:

    Visiting Grandpa Bill as a child was always a highlight for me, as we would tour the garden with Grandma and feed the chickens. We always joked that he got his big belly from swallowing rocks, and he’d let me punch him to prove it, until the time I caught him off guard! Our family parted ways, but I will remember the kindness and love I received and send the same to those remaining.
