William Dye, 70, died peacefully at his home in Halifax on March 15, 2004, after a courageous two-year battle with cancer. Born in Glace Bay, Bill was the son of Mrs. Dorothy Phalen. He was so proud to call himself a "Cape Bretoner." Bill attended the University of King's College and was ordained as an Anglican Priest in 1961 in St. John's Church, Arichat. Bill served as a student in Meota, Saskatchewan, and in the parishes of Port Hawkesbury and Arichat, Glace Bay; Brooklyn, Queens County; Mahone Bay; and Saint Matthias, Halifax from which he retired in 1996 having served as a faithful priest for 35 years. In the early years of ministry he was known as "Bill the Builder" as he supervised the construction of new church buildings in Port Hawkesbury and Brooklyn, and extensive renovations in Mahone Bay. He liked very much the daily contact with the committees and workers on these projects. Pastoral ministry was the highlight of Bill's vocation - visiting people in their homes and being involved in their lives was most important to him. He also became involved in the broader community in the parishes to which he was appointed. He was instrumental in the formation of the Child Development Centre in Mahone Bay, the Christians for Refugees Committees in Mahone Bay and Halifax, and the Senior Citizens' Organization in Halifax. In his younger years, Bill was very involved in the Children's Aid Society. In his retirement years, Bill enjoyed entertaining in his home, golfing with "the boys," wintering in Florida, and having long conversations with his dear friend of 50 years, Don Ruggles. Bill was extremely proud of his children and was happiest when spending time with them. Bill is survived by his mother, Dorothy Phalen, Glace Bay; his wife of 38 years, Beverley (Moffatt), and their children, Allyson, Halifax; Robert, Bridgewater; Bruce and his wife Kelly and their daughter Sonya, Chester Basin; his brother, Syl Phalen (Cathy) and their children, Jason and Jennifer, Donkin, Cape Breton; brother-in-law, Roy Moffatt (Edythe), their children, Rodney and Rhonda; brother-in-law, Robert Moffatt (Karen) and their children, Ross and Bill's guardian angel, Dr. Susan Moffatt-Bruce, who was so attentive to Uncle Bill; and several cousins in Glace Bay. Bill was predeceased by his stepfather, Charles Phalen. Funeral liturgy was celebrated in Saint Matthias Church, Wednesday, March 17, 2004 at 3 p.m., Bishop Fred Hiltz officiated.
