William Dauphinee «Bill»
Zinck – age 91, died peacefully at home, in Berwick on October 17,
2019, with his loving wife by his side. Born on December 18, 1927 in
Hebbs Cross, Lunenburg County, he was the only son of the late William
and Melba (Cook) Zinck. Bill grew up and worked on the family farm
until his late teens. His first job outside of the farm was with
Industrial Shipping Co. of Mahone Bay, and later with Powers Brothers
in Lunenburg where he started his apprenticeship in the plumbing and
heating trade. Taking evening classes at the vocational school in
Halifax, Bill earned his trade certificate and became a licensed
plumber. Looking for better employment opportunities after practicing
his profession in Nova Scotia, he travelled to the United States and
became a licensed plumber in the State of Massachusetts. In 1979 Bill
moved back home to Nova Scotia where he started his career with
Michelin Tires Canada. After retiring in 1991, he enjoyed volunteering
his time helping others and pursuing his passion for woodworking. His
sage advance was valued by many and his quality crafts can be found in
the homes of many friends and family members throughout Canada and the
US, as well as a number of churches and museums. Bill is survived by
his wife of 58 years, Hazel (Nieforth); son, David (Karen), Denison,
Texas; grandson, Shaun (Jala), Richardson, Texas; granddaughter,
Kathryn Zinck, Denison, Texas; four great-grandchildren; several
nieces and nephews and his long-time friend, Gary Smith. He was
predeceased by his sister, Mary and brother-in-law, Eric Davidson.
