Searle, Bill – November 4, 1937 – January 10, 2017. It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of William Henry Searle at home in St. George on the morning of January 10th, 2017 in his 80th year of life.

He married his lifelong partner Marilyn (Dodd) in 1959 and had three children; Bill (Shona), Tom (Rebecca) & Lesley (Rick). He was also the proud grandfather to Julia, Derek & Amanda.
