Obituary for William George Enefer
WILLIAM GEORGE ENEFER
On Saturday afternoon on January 29, 2022, William passed away at Meadowood Manor, while in the care of the many dedicated staff who provided medical care and concern for his well being.
William was born on June 2, 1935. He was predeceased by his loving wife Carole; and both his parents and Carole’s parents.
He graduated from Daniel McIntrye Collegiate and proudly attended many of their reunions. His career path was with Shell Oil in their Credit Department. He was being transferred to Vancouver but he chose to stay in Winnipeg. Eventually he was with Creditel in both sales and consultation with members. He was very active with the Credit Association high honours in both education and association activity and was awarded their highest award. In 1984 he began his own Credit Consulting Business with many customers representing them in many ways.
When his parents acquired their new house in Transcona he became active with the Transcona Jaycees. Starting in the early 1960’s the Unit won many awards provincially, nationally and at the world level. He served as Unit President — Manitoba President and received Jaycees highest award becoming JCI Senator 8136 in 1967. He continued being of service in many ways and was elected President of the Canadian JCI Senate in 2006. On 5 occasions Manitoba Hosted the Canada JCI Senate Annual Meeting of the Crew. In 1975 he married Carole and they both became very active in the Jaycees and travelling to many meetings within Canada visiting many provinces as well as many events in the United States and a number of World Congresses. Once in a while they would take a cruise as they loved to travel. If you knew Bill for his Jaycee activities, you would be aware of his love for Radio 97.5 — thanks to his love for music he was constantly encouraging others to support the station. William had many friends, and many are with CBMC Christian Businessmen Committee. Again, he was very well known and was a supporter. When he could no longer drive a car, the dedicated members were there to pick him up for meetings and events and for church. When Carole passed away in November of 2017, he moved to Sturgeon Creek II. During his 6 years there, he was very active in participating and frequently dancing with his dance partner Vera. He enjoyed many tours and much entertainment with his many friends. He also joined ANAVETS Assiniboia Unit 283, enjoying the music and dancing at many dance nights and special events events with Shirley and Ken with friend Vera. Bill was not known for his sports, but he did spend some time with a 10-pin bowling league. Thanks to the Manitoba Senate having an annual golf day, it developed that he did a weekly golf match with fellow Senators Glynn Davies, John Deacon and Gord Kraushar. Thanks to the pandemic, golfing was limited, so I got him out to play Miniature Golf which he greatly enjoyed. As stated, before, his love for music was a major part of his life. He enjoyed musical movies and has numerous records and cassettes that number in the hundreds. Bill was also Godfather to Ken Cade II — a responsibility he took seriously.
Many of us are going to miss William but he will be remembered by many more.
Due to the pandemic there are compliance's that must be followed. An event to celebrate his life will be held at a later date.
