William “Willy” Valliere

VALLIERE, William…

January 23, 1953 – February 11, 2024

William “Willy” Valliere passed away suddenly but peacefully at University Hospital in London on February 11, 2024, at 71 years old, after a courageous battle with chronic lung disease. Beloved husband of the late Wanda Valliere for 29 years (2006). Loving Dad of Angelina Nikkel (Chris), Danielle Zatulsky (Jay), and Kimberly Valliere (Jeremy Varlow). Incredibly proud Papa of Caleigh, Easton and Boone. Dear older brother of Robert Valliere. Willy will also be dearly missed by his many cousins, other extended family members, and loving friends. He was predeceased by his cherished parents Rita Souriol and Donald Valliere.

Willy was born and raised in Kirkland Lake. It was difficult for him to leave his hometown, but he truly enjoyed London over the past five years. He will be fondly remembered as “Scooter” by his friends and neighbours in London.

We are finding comfort in knowing that Dad is reunited with our Mom, whom he missed with all his heart. We are also comforted in knowing that he was able to make many fond memories over the years watching his grandson play hockey, visiting the Cayman Islands and making many new friends.

At Willy’s request, cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be held in Kirkland Lake in the spring/summer.

Willy was a social butterfly who would strike up a conversation with anyone, and gave to his community when he could. In his memory, donations may be made to the London and Area Food Bank, 926 Leathorne Street, London, ON N5Z 3M5. Arrangements entrusted with Cremation London & Middlesex, 519-858-2467.
