William James Montgomery, 67, died Dec. 15, 2002, at Careage of Whidbey following an extended illness. He was born July 15, 1935, in Port Alberni, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, to Arthur and Florence Montgomery.

Mr. Montgomery worked as a Longshoreman with the B.C.M.E.A. and served in the Canadian Air Force.

He is survived by his two sons, Mark and Rick Montgomery, both of Canada; one brother, Bud Montgomery; and one sister, Pat Spicer and her husband, Gordy, all of Canada. His very special friend Donna Metcalfe of Oak Harbor also survives.
