Crilly,William (Bill) Gordon 

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our dad, William (Bill) Gordon Crilly on May 8, 2025, at the age of 87 years. 

Born on October 18, 1937, in Calgary, Alberta, dad grew up on the family farm northwest of Langdon and continued to farm until he could no longer get up the combine ladder. 

His love of farming, hockey, baseball and his grandchildren, made him a familiar face around the community, especially at the rinks and ball diamonds. Always quick with a joke, he will be remembered as someone who enjoyed a great story and a laugh and was never afraid to strike up a conversation with anyone who might be passing by. 

He was predeceased by his parents, Gordon & Emily Crilly, as well as his brother Tom. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of almost 57 years, Sandra (nee Groves), and their 3 daughters, Denise McComber (Allan), Corinne Davidson (Gerry) and Robyn Wortman (Shane); 6 grandchildren, Emily & Will McComber, Brynn Crilly, Zack, Luke & Ty Wortman; as well as his sisters, Betty Hilton & Doreen Knight and numerous other family members and friends. 

A celebration of life will be held on June 6, 2025, at 3:00pm at the Indus Rec Centre. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to ‘Wheatland & Area Hospice Society’ in Bill’s memory.
