Tribute

William Aize Dellebuur, Supt. (Ret.)

December 23, 1933 – August 14, 2018

 

It is with great sadness that we share the unexpected passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather William (Bill) Dellebuur on August 14, 2018 in Duncan, BC.

 

Bill was born December 23, 1933 in Teulon, Manitoba. He joined the RCMP December 7, 1953 and went on to serve in many communities in Ontario, Saskatchewan and British Columbia until his retirement as Superintendent in Charge of Richmond Detachment in 1990.

 

Bill married Margaret Chambers on December 13, 1958 in Winnipeg Manitoba and they have four children.

 

Upon retirement, Bill and Marg moved to Duncan, BC.  In his retirement, Bill served as President of the RCMP Central Island Veterans for many years. Bill also enjoyed being involved with the junior hockey team, curling, and volunteering in many community endeavors. He spent his life working to make a difference wherever he and Marg lived. One of his favourite pastimes was “solving the world’s problems” over coffee with his buddies.

 

Bill had an illustrious career and was an avid community volunteer, however the most important thing in his life was his family. He leaves behind his wife of 59 years Margaret; his children Brent (Heather), Brad (Toni), Barry (Allison) and Kristy (Paul); and his grandchildren Eric, Beth, Josh, Olivia, Lauren, Declan and Sadie.

 

A celebration of Bill’s life will be held September 16, 2018 at 1:00 at the Duncan Curling Club 3191 Sherman Road, Duncan, BC. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made in Bill’s name to the Cowichan District Hospital Foundation.

My condolences to Bill’s family and friends. It was a distinct pleasure to work with Bill at Richmond Detachment. There are many great memories of Bill and the camaraderie and support we will always remember. He was always bigger than life and someone whose legacy will be greatly missed.

From: George Powell
Relation: My first/best NCO

This man was my first NCO in the field with the RCMP. His guidance and knowledge aided with my career in the Force. Many times someone would comment that I c sounded like Bill I accepted the compliment but knew it was because of my training.
Love George
