Whitney Pier
It is with heavy hearts and sadness that we, the family, announce the sudden passing of our beloved father, William Talbot on Saturday, December 7, 2024, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney, at the age of 85.
Born on October 10, 1939, in Sydney, William was the son of the late James and Josephine Talbot. William worked a long hard life doing various jobs until 1974 when he started working for the City of Sydney, now the CBRM.
William was type of person who loved to tell stories and make you laugh. He enjoyed most of all going fishing with his fur baby, Bazil and being able to come home with the catch of the day. He would then brag about what and how many fish he caught. We always said to each other jokingly that we were sure that these fish were given to him.
William is survived by his partner, Brenda Melnick; sister, Eveleen; children, Wally, Blair, Dennis, Linda (Louie), Darren (Jennifer), and Corey (Joanne); stepchildren, Bonnie, Bunker, and Margie; as well as numerous grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Besides his parents, William was predeceased by the mother of his children, Alice Ash; son, Curtis; brothers, Larry, Jimmy, and sisters, Mary, Margaret, and Lucy.
The family would like to thank the nurses and doctors at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital ICU for their care and compassion for William at his time of need.
Visitation for the late William Wallace Talbot will be held at the Pier Community Funeral Home, Whitney Pier, 1092 Victoria Rd. (entrance on Church Street) from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. on Friday, December 13, 2024. A celebration of William’s life will be held in the funeral home, All Faith Chapel on Saturday, December 14, 2024, at 11 a.m. with Rev. Sheldon Chant officiating. Interment will take place New Calvary Cemetery, Whitney Pier, at a later date.
Donations in memory of William may be made to a charity of one’s choice.
Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the care and direction of Pier Community Funeral Home.
