Our sincerest condolences to the entire family. I will always remember Billy from his young age he was so cute. It seemed he grew up so quickly. Always driving one thing or another the bigger the better. Always a hello and a minute to visit. When people say 'he lived his life to the fullest' I think that could apply to this man. God Bless him and his beautiful family.

Margaret Ann and family, my sincere condolence upon the passing of your husband / dad. I am glad he is no longer having to suffer with that ALS affliction.
"Bill" as we always knew him, during those years when NTPA and CTPA tractor pulling was thriving in Ontario.
I have lots of fond memories of the era. I first became friends of Margaret Ann's parents, Alex & Joan. And watched their young, growing daughter, Margaret Ann, grow up.
Yeah, this makes me an oldster - LOL!! My Golden Anniversary year of photographing tractor pulling in 2022.
And meanwhile, Bill, a few years senior to Margaret Ann, was enjoying young adulthood. And as I recall, an employee of Warren and Joanne Powers Twin Creek custom farming operation. So it was only natural that Bill, who also loved tractor pulling, would help with the annual Twin Creek Tractor Pull track maintenance.
For years, Alex took his IH 856 tractor and operated it with the track maintenance scraper. And Bill would follow with a tractor pulling a rubber tire packer. It normally always appeared, at least to me, that Bill could easily daydream, in his quiet, laid back, but always polite demeanor. Yeah, one year, I believe he was daydreaming about that beautiful young Margaret Ann needed to become his wife. And Bill completely lost his concentration as he made a turn on the track.
My photo of the mishap, found its way into the NTPA "the PULLER" magazine, September 2016. For ten years, I was the sole author of the popular "Legends" series stories. This one was "The Powers and Douglas Families". In Bill's much too sharp track maintenance turn, the left front corner of the packer rode right up on the left rear tire of the Massey-Ferguson 165 tractor, just barely missing touching the tractor fender.
And "the PULLER" magazine captions says: "A capable and efficient crew annually prepared and maintained the clay power track. Bill Wright was daydreaming as he followed his future father-in-law (who was always operating the track leveler). Bill's sharp turn produced an "Oooh, Deere!", the prelude to his future Super Farm's name."
For those of you reading this and are not familiar, that was the current pulling tractor of the Wright's.
We all leave a "legend" of some sort. Yep, Bill left a lasting impression for me!! - LOL!! Thanks for the memories!
Take care, Margaret Ann. And come see us at some 2023 Wolverine tractor pulling events.
