Bill was born and raised in Toronto where he attended both Centennial College and Humber College. Not being content to accept the status quo, he continued his education; he was the first in his family to attend university. In 1988, he earned an Honours Bachelor of Arts Degree from Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo.
After University he accepted a job with the federal government in the Department of Transport. Ten years later, he accepted a position with the private sector where he continued to apply his knowledge at Lester B. Pearson International Airport. He willingly took on new challenges and never missed an opportunity to learn new skills.
Bill believes that honesty and integrity are the foundation to helping families during a time when they are most vulnerable. He has gained valuable experience related to funerals in Ottawa, Thunder Bay, Toronto and (saving the best for last) Kirkland Lake.
Although he loves the pace of Kirkland Lake, he never misses an opportunity to travel to Toronto, Ottawa or Montreal. Bill hopes to provide the families who come to the Monette & French Funeral Home the service they deserve – the absolute best.
