Bill Pike

Bill Pike is a retired elementary school principal. He and his wife, Sharon, have lived in Kincardine for 47 years, enjoying fulfilling careers, rural life, three wonderful children, and four outstanding grandchildren. Golf in the summer (poorly), pickleball, guitar-playing, long leisurely walks, the sunny south and family all fill his time. This project is as an effort by him to share his interest about the topics affecting seniors and how they can advocate for their issues. The statement, “Getting old isn’t for the faint of heart,” is real! The rewards of retirement can sometimes be accompanied by aches, pains, medical concerns, and general wellness issues. In this column, Pike takes a look at the good, the bad, and the ugly of senior living. Don’t laugh at age, pray to make it!
