Bill was predeceased by his parents George and Mary Skinner, brothers Leo, Kevin and Isaac, sisters Minnie and Tina, nephews Ashley, Dwayne and Scott, and grandson Jonathan. Bill loved music and family gatherings. He was especially happy when he was playing accordion accompanied by his brothers playing guitars. He raised his family in Stephenville, Newfoundland before moving to Fort McMurray, where he spent the last 16 years of his life surrounded by everyone he loved. His family and friends meant everything to him. Special thanks go out to the medical staff at the NLRHC who went above and beyond with his care. The impact he left on everyone who met him will forever stand the test of time. He will be missed by all who knew him.
