William Gordon Ruddy was born at Peterborough, Ontario on November 25, 1914. He married Madge Anne Heard in Whitby on June 25, 1943. They had two children: Robert John Ruddy and Donald William Wesley Ruddy. William is the younger brother of Marjorie Ruddy.

Marjorie Georgina Ruddy (1908-1980) was a prominent Whitby photographer and the only commercial photographer in Whitby during the 1930s and 1940s. Marjorie was the official photographer for the Whitby Police Department starting in the 1930s and as a result took many photographs of car accidents, fingerprints and crime scenes. (Station Gallery.
