In memoriam: Bill Schreiber
Bill Schreiber died on Dec. 8, 2011 at the Milton District Hospital.
Sadly missed and much loved by his wife Audrey, children; Carol (Rob), John, Vicky, Janet (Dave), Craig (Joanne, Kathy (Keith) and Mark (Trish). Extra special to Bill were his grandchildren Susan and Mark Hartwell, Lauren and Evan Roberts, Emma, Julia and Wil Schreiber, Benjamin, Thomas and Joanna Schreiber Costa, Travis and Tucker Schreiber.
Bill was a man of many talents, and a pioneer of the horticulture industry in Ontario. With partner John Northwood, he built Lakeshore Landscaping, which was recognized as an innovative and leading edge landscape company for many years, before being purchased by Aldershot Landscape Contractors. During his retirement his garden, carpenter friends, church and community kept him occupied. His love of wild and natural places such as the Niagara Escarpment and Georgian Bay were captured by his camera and paintbrush for all to see.
A memorial gathering took place at Boston Presbyterian Church in Milton on Dec. 11.
