Obituary
PEAKER, William Gordon…… It is with tremendous sadness we announce the death of William, (Bill) Gordon Peaker, (born August 26, 1927) on Saturday, December 3, 2011. Bill left this world the way he lived with gentleness, dignity and little fanfare. He was predeceased by his parents, Harold and Lillian, as well as his brother and friend Ron and his wife Helen who were greatly missed in Lil and Bill’s day to day life. Bill’s greatest loss was that of his son, Randy, who died in 1995. Bill will be missed most by his wife of 61 years, Lil. They shared everyday. Bill’s daughter Kim, son-in-law Carl and their children Dawson, Chase and Taylor along with daughter-in-law Lucie and her children Emily and Max are also heartbroken. Their recent holiday time spent together with Lil and Bill will be a treasured memory. Bill’s sisters Joan and Gail and his brother-in-law Bill have shared love and support and are so saddened by Bill’s death. Lil’s sister Viv, her husband Eric and son Paul also share a love for Bill. Life long friends Pauline and Pat will miss Bill immensely. Bill was a member of St. John’s Masonic Lodge No. 20 A.F. & A.M. and Middlesex Kiwanis. He was a dedicated family man quietly supporting and modeling for his children, their spouses and grandchildren. His values, patience and quick wit will live on in those he loved. Visitation will be held from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Tuesday at the A. Millard George Funeral Home, 60 Ridout Street South, London. Funeral service will be conducted at Wesley-Knox United Church, 91 Askin Street, London on Wednesday, December 7, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. with Reverend Dr. Douglas H. Ross and Reverend David R. Carrothers officiating, followed by a reception, and interment in Woodland Cemetery, London.

Dear Kim and family,
My sincerest sympathies on the death of your dad. I’m in San Francisco for the week so will not be able to see you at the visitation or funeral. I’ll remember you all in my prayers.
Rick Secco
Lucie, Emily, Max and all the Peaker family,
We are sorry to learn about Grampa Bill’s passing and will keep you in our thoughts over the next few difficult days.
We are so glad that we did get to meet all of the extended family, when they were in New Brunswick to visit a few years ago. We too will remember Bill as kind gentle man.
Lil, I was very sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family during this sad time.
Dear Kim:
We were saddened to hear of your Dad’s recent passing. He was always such a friendly & low-key guy, with a great sense of humour, & will be sorely missed. It must be especially difficult for you, and for your children, having lost both of their granddads in such a short space in time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. (Will be in touch with your Mom, as well)
Mary Beth (& Michael )
Dear Lil & family: Sincere condolences to you and family. Lil, we worked together at Big Sisters. I recently just lost my twin brother to cancer end of August. Your faith in God will carry you through the difficult days ahead. God Bless, Joan Siderius
Bill & Lil lived two doors down from my parents on Croxton Rd. (Keith & Doreen Winterton). My Dad passed away 4 years ago, and my Mom passed away in May of this year. Bill was always smiling and quit witted. After Dad died, Mom and I used to see them periodically dining at The Riverdale restaurant on Springbank Drive. I will always remember his smile. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.
