Bill Gamble (March 26, 1954 - December 31, 2010) It is with profound
sadness that we announce the passing of William Douglas Gamble, 56,
Amherst which occurred on the evening of Friday, December 31, 2010 at
the QE II Health Sciences Centre, VG Site in Halifax, NS, following a
brief illness surrounded by his loving family and friends. Born in
Amherst, he was a son of the late Clarence and Lillian (Burgess) Gamble.
He was employed at the Amherst Wal Mart since the store opened as the
Electronic Department Manager. Besides his work, Bill was an avid golfer
and member of the Amherst Golf Club as well a devoted Maple Leaf fan and
had great interest in the history of World War II. Bill was a kind,
wonderful man and will be remembered for his sense of humour and
profound wit. One of Bill's dreams came true as he and his sister, Donna
went to England for a vacation in September 2010. He will be lovingly
remembered and sadly missed by his special sisters, Jane Gamble and Dora
Ibbitson both of Amherst, Mary Gilroy, Springhill and Donna Gamble,
Halifax; as well as his best four legged friend, Maggie. Beside his
parents, Bill was predeceased by his brother, Robert. Cremation has
taken place. Funeral service for Bill will be held on Friday, January 7,
2011 at 2:00 p.m. from Campbell's Funeral Home Chapel, 98 Church St.,
Amherst (667-9906) with Rev. Byron Corkum officiating. In lieu of
flowers, donation to the Nova Scotia Lung Association would be greatly
appreciated by the family. On-line condolences may be sent to the family
