William "Bill" Tobicoe's Obituary
William "Bill" Tobicoe, 94, passed away November 30, 2018, in St. George, Utah. He was born in Ontario Canada, July 23, 1924, on the Six Nations Indian Reservation and at 94 was one of the oldest members of his tribe, the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation and was the last serving veteran of World War 11, from his tribe. He fought through France, Belgium and Germany with the Canadian Army.
Bill immigrated to America and became a citizen in the 1960's while living in Buffalo NY. He was a bricklayer and stone mason and worked in Canada, Buffalo, Phoenix and Australia before retiring at the age of 80 in Irvine California. He arrived in St. George in 2007.
He was a staunch supporter of Alcohol Anonymous. "The best day of our life was April 9, 1961, when a Buffalo judge directed Bill to attend a nearby AA meeting", says his daughter, Joan. "Everything after that was good. He helped a whole lot of people (in AA) for 57 years." His work with AA involved speaking all over the world to help alcoholics recover through the AA program.
Bill is survived by his daughter, Joan Marilyn Tobicoe Mangels, son-in-law, John Mangels, grandson, David Mangels and great-grandson, William "Will" Tobicoe Mangels. He is preceded in death by his parents, Edmund Tobicoe and Helen Bradley Tobicoe, wife, Lilian Bedford Tobicoe, son, Michael Tobicoe, and daughter Alicia Tobicoe.
