In his 70th year, passed away peacefully on Monday, August 26, 2019, with his family by his side.

Bill was predeceased by his parents Ken and Irene Copeland and sister Doris.  He was a loving husband to Gerry (Geraldine) Copeland and a loving father to their three children, Ken, Amy and Erin.  He was a proud Grandpa to Hayden Stahlbaum.  He will be dearly missed by his siblings Brian (Patty) Copeland of Alberta, Vivian (Brian) Tosh of Alberta and Laurene Drudge of Kitchener.   He will be fondly remembered by his brothers and sisters-in-law, his nieces and nephews, other relatives and friends. 

To all who remember Bill, he was an excellent storyteller who loved the country life and working outdoors.  Bill served on the Guelph Police Services for over 35 years.  He worked in many different departments until he retired.  Bill devoted his entire life to his family and the Police Service.
