Bill worked for over 40 years in the Kingston hardware industry at Darlington’s, Rivett Architectural Hardware and Quindor.

Survived and fondly remembered by his brother Blaine Tackaberry (Bonnie) and by many nieces and nephews and their families. Special thanks to Kim for being so helpful to the very end.

Bill was father/grandfather to Trevor Tackaberry (Crystal) and their daughters Leah and Lauren. He was predeceased by his sister Helen Weldon (late Ken) and brothers Gerald Tackaberry (Ann) and Robert Tackaberry (late Muriel).

Sadly Florence passed away on Thursday, November 21, 2024, 13 days after the passing of Bill.
