MEEHAN, William Francis,
age 88, of Antigonish passed away peacefully on
November 8, 2022 at St. Martha’s Regional Hospital,
Antigonish. Born in Halifax, he was the son of the late
William and Elizabeth (Casey) and brother of the late Madeline
Bidinost and Noreen Andrusyk.
A former
officer in the Royal Canadian Navy, Bill studied business at St. F.X.
(1961), where he was elected student president, and then law at
Dalhousie University (1967). He practiced law in Antigonish
from 1969 until the time of his death, earning a longstanding
reputation for fairness, professionalism and kindness. He
was an active member of St. Ninian’s Parish, the Knights of
Columbus and, in recent years, the Celtic Music Interpretative Centre,
where he served on the board. His greatest passions in life
were his family, his faith, the practice of law, travel and Celtic
music.
He is survived
by his wife Grace, his children Anthony, John, Michael and Jennifer,
his grandchildren, Kaia, Rohan, Shea, Lochlan, Liam, Michael,
Marie-Helene and William.
Visitation
