It is with sorrow that we announce the passing of Bill, our beloved brother, father, grandfather and friend.

Bill was born on August 13th, 1958 in North Battleford to Wilfred and Agnes Girward. Bill was the 6th child of 7. Bill had some very good jobs in his life, and was a excellent carpenter. He never completes school, but was well educated, especially in science, social, history and mathematics. Try to win a Trivial Pursuit game-no way. Bill enjoyed camp fires and fishing; and enjoyed plants, fish and animals.

Bill leaves behind his children: son Aaron and his children Ethan & Lews; daughter Vanessa Hayward and her children Jordan and Katana; mother of his children Kathy Deneiko and Shirley Hayward; brothers and sisters Marcella Ross, Theresa Pierson, Lawrence Girward and Glenna Olenick; special nephew Tanner Olenick; as well as many extended family and friends.

Bill is predeceased by his parents Wilfred and Agnes Girward; Brothers Kenneth and Robert Girward; best friend and soulmate Karen Swimmer.
