Cole-“The game goes on, but it will never sound the same.” William “Billy” Cole passed away peacefully, with his loving wife and dear friends at his side. He passed away at St. Joseph’s Hospice on Friday, October 31, 2025. Beloved husband of 20 years to Katie, and proud Dog Dad to Reno and Archie. Cherished son of the late Graydon and Elsie Cole, and dear son-in-law of Geri Pendell and the late Carl Pendell. Loving brother-in-law of Colin (Kelly) Pendell and the late Kerry Simmons, and special uncle of Cameron, Macy, Emma, and Marleigh. Billy was an accomplished sportscaster whose smooth voice and quick wit graced the airwaves from Simcoe and St. Thomas to Toronto’s 680 News, and later in Tampa and Wallaceburg. A lifelong fan of the Maple Leafs, Blue Jays, and Detroit Lions, he was known for cheering—and cursing—his teams with equal passion. He faced every challenge in recent years with courage, humour, and grace, supported by Katie and the compassionate caregivers who became dear friends. Loved by a wide circle of family, friends, and colleagues, Billy will be remembered for his kindness, humour, and unmistakable voice. Friends are invited to celebrate Billy’s life on Saturday, November 15, 2025, from 1:00–4:00 p.m. at the St. Clair Parkway Golf Course, 132 Moore Line, Mooretown, Ontario.
