When Did William Roe Die?
Posted by: Loren Coleman on March 19th, 2010
An author-researcher has written to Cryptomundo asking if anyone knows when famed Sasquatch eyewitness William Roe passed away. If you know, would you please share the answer in the comment section? Has anyone run across an obituary of his?
The above drawing of the William Roe encounter’s Sasquatch was used to illustrate Ivan T. Sanderson’s men’s magazine article detailing Roe’s sighting. From the initials of the artist in the right hand corner, they do not appear to match Morton Kunstler’s.
The closeup of the Roe drawing done by Kunstler in Sanderson’s 1961 ABSM book seems to have been based on the above sketching (but they are different).
This drawing was done in 1958, by Roe’s daughter from his description of what he said he saw in 1955, in British Columbia.

William Wallace Roe, passed away in Edmonton Alberta, Canada on Nov 12th 1963… The last photo above declares the drawing was made in 1958 which is wrong.. It was drawn by my Mother in 1957..
