BILL, Joachim. January 11, 1940 - March 19, 2014. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joachim Bill on March 19th at Peace Arch Hospital surrounded by his family and friends. His health had declined rapidly after diagnosed with ALS in October 2013. Joachim will be greatly missed by his loving wife of over 40 years, Ingrid Bill, daughter Andrea, son Christian and granddaughter Claudia, other family members and many good friends all over the world. Born in Germany he moved his family to Vancouver in 1982. After working successfully many years as a decorator and in advertising with his own agency, Joachim built a second career as a designer and builder of private homes. He was a very creative and handy man. As he was also very musical, he loved to play the piano and accordion.
