Tumber: William Frederick “Bill”
March 27, 1939 – November 12, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of William Frederick “Bill” Tumber, age 86, who passed away peacefully on November 12, 2025, at home on the family farm in Loretto, ON. His devoted wife of 64 years, Lois (née Roscoe) who never left his side held his hand until the very end, surrounded by the love of their daughters, Wendy and Lori.
Throughout his life, Bill was the beloved Gramps and Poppa of five grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. He leaves behind many family members and friends who will miss him deeply.
Born on March 27, 1939, in Toronto to Frederick and Dorothy Tumber, Bill spent 34 years working for Bell Canada. After taking early retirement, he devoted himself to farming full-time, cherishing time with family and travelling with Lois. Together, they always found and joyfully took the road less travelled, creating a lifetime of unforgettable memories.
In his spare time, Bill loved to garden and had a special talent for nurturing orchids an “orchid whisperer,” as his family fondly recalls. When he wasn’t farming, he served as the renowned taste-tester of Grandma cookies and the family’s trusted head turkey carver. Bill had a remarkable memory and could recall people, places, and stories with crystal clarity. Wherever he went, he never hesitated to strike up a conversation one that might turn into a friendship or spark a new adventure.
We invite you to join us as we say farewell to Bill and celebrate a lifetime of family, friendship, and exploration.
Visitation will be held on Monday November 17, 2025 at Rod Abrams Funeral Home, 1666 Tottenham Rd., Tottenham ON 905-936-3477 from 1pm until time of Funeral Service in the chapel at 2pm. A reception will follow in the funeral home’s Cliffside Hall.
