WAGNER — When only the best will do
Bill Williamson
With the death Nov. 7 of Bill Williamson, the fishing industry lost a devoted trade unionist whose commitment to the cause of working people made him a lifelong supporter of the labor movement and the New Democratic Party.
Born in 1919 to the son of a Scottish coal miner, Williamson began his own working life at the age of 14 after the family had moved to Vancouver Island. He took a job with Comox Logging Co. and quickly learned that logging bosses were just as tough as their counterparts in the Scottish coal mines.
Williamson undertook the struggle to break the operators' power by joining the fledgling International Woodworkers of America, working alongside pioneer organizers like Ron Barbour and Jack Higgins to build the Courtenay local into a union stronghold.
Williamson was blacklisted for his troubles and was forced to find work at various short term jobs. He married his wife Bessie in 1939 while he was earning a living cutting mine timbers for 10 cents each.
In 1942 he found work in the Cumberland coal mines, but an
Dave Corrigal
Dave Corrigal, a staunch union man and lifelong seine fisherman who worked many of the veteran seine boats on the coast, died Nov. 4 after a bout with cancer. He was 59.
Born in Ontario, Corrigal began his fishing career on the Great Lakes. When he moved to B.C. in the wake of the Second World War, he quickly found work in the seine fleet. Except for a brief period as skipper on the Invercan 5, he spent a productive career on deck.
Among the many vessels on which he fished were the Lulu Island, La Paloma, Antler, Tul-crest, Lake Como 4, Sea Fury, Ellen C, Mi-Lyndo and Cape Mudge.
During the off-season, he worked for many years as a pile-driver and bridgeman. During the winter of 1985 he was stricken by cancer and forced to retire to his Nanaimo home.
He is survived by his wife Florence, four sons and one daughter. He will be remembered by his many friends as a good shipmate who lived for today.
