William was born  January 8, 1932  in Saskatoon Saskatchewan. He was the son of Nick (Nikola) Showkowyand Katherine (Pirigh) Showkowy who had both immigrated to Canada from the Ukraine. They had 3 children: William, Ann (Dolishny)  and  Peter.  William grew up on a farm near Oshawa Ontario where he learned the value and discipline of hard work at a young age. He became an employee of the Ford Motor Company (Oakville Plant) on January 4, 1954. He worked in a number of departments with a perfect job attendance record. He never missed a single day’s work in 45 years which was a testament to his great stamina and company loyalty. He was a determined, self sufficient  individual  whose  interests included  fishing, reading, cars, travelling, dancing and western movies. He lived a long and healthy life, only succumbing to dementia at the age of 91 years.
