Read this on the Black Watch Web Site/Fallen Comrades. I believe this is the Bill Hexter that was in 3 RCR Germany in the late 70's.
"In loving memory of George “Bill“ Hexter 65 years who passed away on Friday, November 23rd, 2007 at the Sudbury Regional Hospital-St. Joseph's Site. Born in Kingsville, he served with the Canadian Armed Forces for 37 years, retiring in 1997 as a Sergeant Major. Bill enjoyed fishing, coin collection and he was dedicated and devoted to his family. Beloved husband of Elizabeth“Betsie“ (VanSommeren) Hexter of Val Caron. Loving father of Yolanda McKay (Kevin) and George “Willie“ (Andrea). Cherished grandfather of Ashley, Corrie and Petra. Funeral Service in the LOUGHEED FUNERAL HOME, Val Caron/Blezard Valley Chapel, 1815 Main St., Val Caron, Wednesday, November 28th, 2007 at 11:30 am. Cremation at the Parklawn Crematorium. Donations to the Cancer Centre would be appreciated. (Friends may call after 10:30 am Wednesday). Flowers, donations or messages of condolences available online at www.lougheed.org
