In Memoriam

It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Bill peacefully at home.

Left to mourn his memory is his loving wife Jeannine of 58 years; sons, Todd (Brenda), Brett (Shannon); grandsons, Cody (Ali), Brenden (Carole), Austin and Jared. Bill was predeceased by his parents, Mary and Peter.

Bill was self-employed owning Bill's Speed Centre, B&B Mini Motors and Bison Dragways, retiring in 1994. Bill and Jeannine enjoyed many wonderful years boating on Lake of the Woods and as a member of the Flying Fishermen for 39 years.

Otto So was a fixture for many, many years at almost every carshow in the province, with his camera capturing thousands and thousands of vehicles.

He was the official/unofficial MAAC & MB Motorsports Hall Of Fame photographer.

Otto left us peacefully on June 25, 2018. He was born in postwar Hong Kong on January 2, 1946, and began a new life in Canada in 1972 with his wife Adelina, and daughters Joy and Judy. His life was filled with projects, especially cars, though his interests included collecting "stuff", travelling, and especially photography, seldom being seen without at least one camera at the ready, and documenting many events for friends and family.

After a career in IT, he built up International Hair Care with his wife Adelina. After her death in 1995, he married Anna, who sadly died in 2001 after less than two years of marriage. Never a quitter, in 2011 he married Roberta Beach in a car club celebration, and enjoyed a retirement of car events, travel and renovations. Otto had ALMOST completed his dream home renovations. Otto battled kidney disease for over 20 years, finally pioneering some new technology in home pd over two years. Sadly, this limited his travel. In lieu of flowers, a blood donation would be appropriate as Otto broke the bank in his last weeks battling a drug toxicity.
