Obituary for William Mullins
William John Mullins
April 10, 1946 – October 7, 2020
William "Bill" John Mullins, Age 74, of Peterborough, Ontario passed away after a long battle with cancer. Due to current restriction on gatherings, there will not be a funeral service held. However, a celebration of Bill’s life will be scheduled once allowed and an announcement will be made for all who are interested.
Bill was born on April 10, 1946 in Limerick, Ireland. He was the son of the late Thomas A. Mullins and Christina (nee Eble) Mullins both formerly from Ireland. In 1956, Bill along with his parents and siblings left Ireland and settled in North Augusta, Ontario. Canada presented many new and exciting opportunities for the family. Upon their arrival, Bill and his siblings attended elementary school in a small one room schoolhouse. The family then moved to Brockville where Bill attended High School at Brockville Collegiate Institute and he went on to Carleton University in Ottawa.
An entrepreneur and full of ambition, Bill moved to Toronto to begin his career. He never missed an opportunity and was always up for an adventure. One Saturday morning while passing a tennis court, he noticed and would soon marry Ms. Brenda French. Bill and Brenda would go on to start a family and have two beautiful children: David and Jennifer.
Known to his close friends and family as “Willie,” Bill was a lover of music. As a young man, he loved to play the guitar and sing Irish songs. He was dedicated to work and strived for success. Bill spent most of his career in real estate and the Insurance Industry where he owned and operated a successful brokerage for 10 years. In his later years, his affinity for computers and solving complex problems led him to launch an online blog where he provided his readers with instrumental guidance and support.
Bill is lovingly survived by his two children: David (Shefali) Mullins, and Jennifer Mullins, both of Toronto, Ontario; three grandchildren: Neala, Belle, and Meara; four siblings: Annette (Grant) McLaughlin, Thomas “Tony” Mullins, Jr., Christina (Ken) Johns, and John J. Mullins.
In lieu of flowers, donations to The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) would be greatly appreciated by the family: http://www.camh.ca/.
