Robert Charles Nichols
1948-2020
Robert Charles Nichols passed away at the
Valley Regional Hospital on Wednesday, April 15, 2020. Born in Berwick
on January 16, 1948 he was the son of Alice (Roberts) Nichols and the
late Whitney Nichols of Aylesford. Robert began his working life as a
carpenter followed by a series of side jobs as he started his renowned
trade as a master locksmith in the early 1980’s. He
successfully owned and operated Robert’s Lock Repair based
from his home in Port Williams for many years. Robert could always be
seen in the company of one of his trusted four-legged companions
Benji, Chaz and Flower; his beloved dogs. Robert was always someone
who showed tremendous pride and dedication in everything he did and
was always there for anyone who needed a hand. Robert’s work
was his passion in life only to be outshone by his dedication to his
family. He enjoyed his family time camping and helping his children
with their many endeavours until his family grew to include
spending time with his grandchildren and listening to their stories.
Robert will be forever known for enjoying an entertaining
conversation, a good laugh, good food and travelling near and far. He
will be missed by those who knew him through his trade, his community,
his friends and family. In addition to his mother, Robert is survived
by his wife Sandra; son, Scott (Erika) Nichols; daughter, Lisa
(Jonathan) Tweedie and his five grandchildren, Helaina, Chase and
Lauren Nichols and Rylan and Elsa Tweedie. He is also survived by his
niece, Christie and nephews, Jeffrey and Jeremy and sister-in-law,
Janet Nichols. He was predeceased by his brother, Roy. We express our
sincere thanks to the VON for their services over many months, Doctor
Mike Wadden and the staff at Valley Regional Hospital. Donations may
be made in his memory to the VON Annapolis Valley Branch or feel free
to help make someone’s day in his honor by paying it forward
to someone in need. A private family committal will take place at St.
John’s Anglican Church Cemetery, Port Williams at a later
date. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the White Family
Funeral Home and Cremation Services,
Kentville.
