Bill Hayes
Peacefully at home on Tuesday April 5, 2022, with family by his side, Bill lost his battle with cancer.
Bill is survived by his wife Elva; children Steve Hayes (Oeun), and Catherine (Daren); his seven much loved grandchildren, Tony, Melanie (Dan), Sommer, Samantha, Matthew, Emily, Justin; his sister Susan Dorsman (John Davidson), and brother George Hayes. Predeceased by mother Mary Hayes (2005), father George Hayes (1987), nephew Trevor Dorsman (1992), and brother in law Bill Dorsman (1994).
Bill’s love of golf and fishing are legendary. He was several times the Club Champion at the Ingersoll Golf and Country Club. Stories of his rounds, and antics, will live forever and the friendships he built….too many to count. With the golf course in his rearview mirror, Bill headed for his other passion, fishing on the Pickerel River. He spent many hours with friends, family, and his beloved dogs fishing and telling stories.
Bill will be forever remembered and loved by many.

Very sorry for your loss. I have nothing but fond memories of you and Bill.
Sorry about Bills passing I made sure I saw him ever time i came home. He is now w drinking food should no and playing golf with my father his Uncle Neil
I’m Bill’s cousin, his mother and mine were sisters. Living away from Ingersoll, I don’t think I’ve seen Bill since his mother’s funeral. At one time in our lives, Bill and I were close companions, spending an inordinate amount of time shooting rubber balls at each other with hockey sticks and dreaming of being in the NHL. Reading his obituary ignited long ago memories when life was simpler.
My condolences to Elva and the rest of his family. Our prayers are with you and the spirit of ‘Hacker’.
SO VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS TO ALL WHO KNEW HIM! HE WAS SUCH A WONDERFUL PERSON. DEEPEST CONDOLENCES. R I P BILL
Dear Elva & Family,
I had the honour and privilege to know Hack through bowling with him. One of my very first memories of bowling with Hack was when he once yanked my ponytail jokingly. He learned very quickly to never do that again lol. We picked on each other for years and I always enjoyed the banter.
My heartfelt condolences to the Hayes family. May the many memories of Bill keep you at comfort. He will forever be missed.
With Sympathy
