Obituary of William Thomas Tempany


February 14, 1951- Calgary, Alberta

December 20, 2022 – Calgary, Alberta

 

William Tempany beloved husband of Laura Tempany, of Calgary, AB, passed away on Thursday, December 20, 2022, at the age of 71.

 

William was born in Calgary, AB, on February 14, 1951. He grew up in Exshaw, AB. William married Laura in 1971 and they went on to have a family of three boys, Tim, Ted, and Will.

 

William accomplished much throughout his life and was an avid CEO for many companies, spending twenty-seven years as the CEO of Fintech Systems, twenty years as the CEO of FLYHT, and a year as the CEO of Just BioFiber Structural Solutions.

 

William had a passion for business and the people within it. He grew up enjoying, and excelling, at skiing in the mountains around Banff and Kananaskis. Business was preferred to be done behind the wheel of a car, just driving. Driving was another passion he had, and his heart was happy when driving around talking about his favorite subject with his favorite people.

 

He will be most remembered for his love of his people.
