William ‘Bill’ Ambrose Salmon
Rod Abrams Funeral Home Ltd., New Tecumseth, Ontario information regarding: William ‘Bill’ Ambrose Salmon
SALMON, WILLIAM (BILL) AMBROSE With heavy hearts, we share the news that on Friday, May 1, 2026, Bill passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his loving family. Bill will be greatly missed by his beloved wife and partner in everything, Carmen; his daughters, Alana (Will) Georgas and Marissa Salmon; and his cherished grandchildren, Lia and Ben Georgas. He will also be dearly missed by his sister Joan (Dave) Preston; his adored four-legged friends, Murphy and Scout; and his extended family including nieces; nephews and cousins near and far. Bill was predeceased by his parents, John Thomas (“Jack”) and Mary (“Maizie”) Salmon and his sister, Patricia (Wayne) Silverson.
Bill grew up on a farm in Smiths Falls, Ontario and this upbringing shaped much of who he became. He loved animals and the great outdoors, found joy in puttering, building and fixing things of all shapes and sizes, and always had an eye for that unmistakable John Deere green. Bill enjoyed a varied and interesting career that defies easy categorization. A cartographer by trade, he began his career at CP Rail and went on to hold a range of roles in the real estate sector, including property manager, mortgage broker, developer, and independent consultant. Bill was particularly proud of the work he did supporting the acquisition of over 1000 acres for the Oak Ridges Moraine Land Trust, helping to preserve and protect this land for years to come.
Outside of work, Bill lived a rich and full life. He was a loyal friend and could always be counted on for thoughtful advice whether it was about buying a car, planning a vacation, or choosing a dog (Golden Retriever, always). Many happy days were spent at the family cottage on Long Lake in Bala, where Bill could often be found at the helm of a boat, reading a good book, or barbequing on the back deck. The family farm, which he called home for the past 30-plus years was a cherished gathering spot for family and friends. Bill loved nothing more than sharing these special places with others, and over the past few days, we have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and stories of how he touched so many lives.
Above all though, Bill loved his family, and we loved him. He was a devoted husband, proud father and the perfect “Grampsie”. Memories of Christmases, birthdays, graduations, weddings and millions of moments in between will live on in our hearts forever.
We extend our deepest gratitude to the professional and compassionate team of caregivers who supported our family over the past few months and helped fulfill Bill’s wish to remain at home.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date, and details will be shared with family and friends. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Odette Cancer Program at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, or to a charity close to your heart.

Douglas Edward ‘Doug’ Ball
Rod Abrams Funeral Home Ltd., New Tecumseth, Ontario information regarding: Douglas Edward ‘Doug’ Ball
It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness that the family of Douglas Ball announces his passing on April 16, 2026, at Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie, Ontario.
Doug had been a patient at Stevenson Memorial Hospital in Alliston since January 2026 and was later transferred to RVH due to kidney failure.
Born in Toronto on June 17, 1946, Doug moved to the New Tecumseth area in 1998, where he made his home in Beeton with his long-time partner, Barb Roberts.
In his earlier years, Doug cherished traveling with his family, creating many lasting memories together. He often spoke fondly of trips with his father in their old camper pick-up truck and of his love for visiting Hawaii.
Doug worked for approximately 10 years in the manufacturing of salon products and later in the assembly of sewing machines. He also generously gave his time as a volunteer driver with the Red Cross.
He enjoyed playing cards and completing puzzles, and was an active member of the Royal Canadian Legion in Beeton. Doug especially looked forward to Friday afternoons spent playing crib with his dear friend Al.
Doug also had a passion for square dancing. The dances in Bond Head were a favourite pastime for both Doug and Barb, and he was known as a wonderful dancer.
The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to the staff at Stevenson Memorial Hospital for the exceptional care Doug received, as well as to the doctors and nurses at Royal Victoria Hospital for their compassion during his final days. Words cannot fully express their appreciation. They feel truly blessed to be part of such a caring community.
Thank you to all friends, neighbours, and acquaintances for your prayers, kind words, cards, and visits during this difficult time.
Rest in peace, Doug.
