Bill Boss
William Boss was born in Kingston, Ontario on May 3, 1917 and died of pneumonia at the age of 90 on October 17, 2007 in Ottawa. William was most commonly known as Bill Boss or "bb" (his wire initials) for short, and was a Canadian war correspondent and reporter for the Canadian Press. He was known for his work in World War II and the Korean War, and for his famous ginger beard. Colleagues described him as the toughest war correspondent they have ever known, and Pierre Berton is quoted saying that Bill "was as fiery as his red beard. He ate censors for breakfast."
