On Wednesday, February 21, 2024 in his 84th year, Dr. William Robert Greenwood passed away peacefully surrounded by his family.
For 50 years, Bill was the beloved husband of the late Madeleine Greenwood and loving father of Ann Greenwood (Amanda), Lynn Greenwood (Shannon) and Peter Greenwood. He was also the very proud grandfather of Kate and Tyler Greenwood. Bill was the dear brother of Mary Beam and was predeceased by his parents Roy and Marion Greenwood.
He will be sadly missed but fondly remembered by his family and friends. Bill was a Medical Doctor of Ophthalmology running his practice out of Chatham, Ontario for 37 years. While in Chatham, Bill and Madeleine moved their family to a hobby farm which he sincerely loved. There he joined his wife in raising Sealyham terriers, their biggest success being Blenheim, a Canadian, American and English champion. There was no shortage of animals on the farm from cows and horses to chickens and chinchillas. Bill retired in 2004 after having moved with his wife to London, Ontario. There he made many friends and became an avid bridge player.
In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make a donation in memory of Bill are asked to consider an animal shelter or charity of choice. Online condolences, memories and photographs shared at www.amgfh.com.
