  NORRIS, William L. (Bill) Passed away peacefully, in his 85th year, at Hilltop Manor Nursing Home, in Cambridge, Thursday April 28, 2011. Predeceased by his parents, James and Lily Norris, he is survived by his wife Dorothy (Nee Foley), one brother, Ray (Marilyn) and four sons, David (Kim), Barry (Kym), Allan (Valerie) and Tim (Donna), all of Cambridge. Bill was a devoted and loving grandfather and great-grandfather, who will be sorely missed by Joe, Jessica (Jamie), Jamie, Cody, Will, Lily, Candace (Chris), Patti (Ian), Stephen and Mackenzie. Bill spent much of his early career with Dobbie Industries and later with Sunbeam/Solaray in Brantford and as a recruiter for Toyota Canada. He was a skilled woodworker, avid reader and a beautiful piano player. Bill and Dorothy spent many happy hours at the family built cottage in Port Elgin. The family expresses sincere appreciation to the kind staff at Hilltop Manor for their loving care.
