Bill (Bill's Truck Shop LTD) Peeters 19 September, 1953 – 4 April, 2026
============
============
It's with a heavy heart that we received notice from fellow 'Bolter and Moderator "LEO" that our Stovebolt and Canadian Truck communities lost a long dedicated supporter and leader with Bill Peeters' peaceful passing on April 4th, 2026.
Bill is probably best known to our Canadian 'Bolters as the biggest supporter and provider of parts and materials for their trucks, but he also had a following among many US 'Bolters too. Bill wasn't an official Stovebolt Member, but he certainly earned an honorary place in our community, and as such we wish to honor his life, accomplishments and memory here.
You can read more about Bill and the "celebration of his life" in the
Bill's Truck Shop Ltd. Facebook Pages.
Although I never got the opportunity to meet Bill, I've read and heard about him from many 'Bolters posts over the years about what a big part he played in developing and supporting the Canadian Truck Community over the last 30+ years. I think this portion of his obituary may best speak to who Bill was to the community:
"From humble beginnings as a mechanic, he followed his passion for classic trucks, and started Bills Truck Shop in 1990. Nobody could find the beauty in a rusty old Chevy Truck the way that he could, and he built his business into something he was incredibly proud of. His work ethic was unmatched."Many thanks Bill! Rest In Peace
