Posted 4 August 2026

Dearly loved father of Cindy, Sandra and William. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our much-loved grandad William Bill Candy. Bill was a dearly loved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, family member, and friend who touched the lives of so many. He will be remembered for his kindness, strength, wisdom and the love he shared with everyone around him. He leaves behind a lifetime of treasured memories that will forever be held close in our hearts. Though he may no longer be with us his legacy and the love he gave will live on through all who knew him.

Rest peacefully grandad Bill.

You will be deeply missed, forever loved and never forgotten.
