Here is the obit:
OZARD, William Wakefield In Bedford, Nova Scotia, signed off the air on November 25, 2011 peacefully at the home of his daughter Tanya Ozard and her husband Chuck Langdon. Born in Victoria, BC, Bill was the son of William Charles Ozard and Evelyn Royal Georgina Bonavia. Bill was a loving and well-loved man with a sharp wit, a big heart and unwavering faith. 5 years ago, Bill was diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer. From day one, he was a pillar of strength in his approach to this life-altering news. He handled it with grace & positivity and throughout, maintained his fervid sense of humour. These qualities along with determination, a cunning intelligence and a talent for public address aided his diverse career in TV and Radio broadcasting, politics and tourism. On the West Coast Bill started out as an on air announcer and newsman on CJVI Radio and later on CKDA Radio - both in Victoria. On the east coast people will remember his voice from his 13 year tenure with CJCH in Halifax and his invaluable contribution to the launch of the Christmas Daddies charity in the Maritimes. Bill is survived by 5 children - Shelley, Jillian (Alex), Tanya (Chuck), Aubrey (Matt) and William Quinton, his sister Stephanie, niece Rachel (Dave), great niece Emily and grandsons Evan, Garrett and Cameron.
Cremation has taken place. A service will be held at All Saints Anglican Church at 1408 Bedford Highway, Bedford, N.S., on Friday, December 2nd at 11:00am to bid farewell to Bill.
