It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of William (Bill) Frank Meacock. He died peacefully on Tuesday, October 11th with family by his side. Born in Toronto to parents from Scotland and England, Bill’s good nature and sharp sense of humour endeared him to all he met. He leaves behind his cherished wife of 63 years, Mary Lynne (Lynne) Meacock. He was the much-loved father of Heather (Keith) and Bruce (Liz), and will be dearly missed by his adored and faithful dogs, Benny and Sandy. Bill was predeceased by his brothers, Thomas Knevett Meacock and Andrew Christie Meacock (Joyce). He will be dearly missed by his extended family and the many friends he gathered throughout his life.
The family would like to thank Dr. Mulé and the care team at Northumberland Hills Hospital for their kindness and compassion. Heartfelt thanks to Joan Miller for her care and support over recent years.
As was Bill’s wish, there will be a private remembrance and celebration of life. Those wishing to make a donation in his memory are welcome to do so at Community Care Northumberland or The Farley Foundation – charities that reflected his love of helping others, both two-legged and four.

I have many fond memories of Bill or as I knew him for many years, Mr. Meacock. A highly regarded chauffeur for Heather and myself in our teenage years, I remember lots of snarky banter and much chuckling whether it be on our rides home from Warden station, back from illicit campsites or up to the cottage. He was kind and gentle and a quick wit. My deepest sympathies to your family.
I had the pleasure of helping to care for Bill for a couple of months. He was a wonderful man with an incredible sense of humour and man did he ever love his chocolate cake!! Thank you for letting me get to know this gentle soul and making me feel like family. Rest peacefully Bill I will always remember watching hockey and baseball games and even the Elvis movie we enjoyed one evening. I hope heaven has and endless supply of sweets for you ❤️ Love, Amanda and family
