NICOLL,
William
“Bill”
It is with profound sadness that we, the family of William
Weldon ‘Bill’ Nicoll, 97, announce his passing on
December 16, 2017, at Taigh na Mara Nursing Home, Glace
Bay.
Born in Mira Gut June 19, 1920, he was the son of the late
Capt. Joseph M. and Sophia ‘Sophie’ M. (Spencer)
Nicoll.
Raised in Mira Gut, Bill was a veteran of the Second World
War serving four years with the Royal Canadian Engineers, in England
and Northwest Europe. In addition to his service medals, he was
awarded the French Legion of Honour Order of Merit and the Dutch
medal, in recognition of his service to the liberation of both
countries. Following the war, Bill attended Acadia University and
graduated with a B.Sc. in geology. He was employed with the
International Nickel Company of Canada (INCO, later Vale) in Thompson,
Manitoba, retiring to his home in Mira Gut in 1977.
Bill is survived by his brother, Ken (Marie) in Fort Worth,
Texas; his sister, Carol (Jim) Pinhey in St. Margaret’s Bay,
and several nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his
brothers, Irvine (Ethel), Charlie (Gloria), Wes (Anna) and Bert
(Libby); his sister, Eva (George) Macvicar, and a nephew, Charlie
Nicoll.
The family wishes to thank Taigh na Mara staff, as well as
County Homemakers, New Dawn Housekeeping and the VON for making it
possible for Bill to remain in his home in Mira Gut for several
years.
As per Bill’s wishes, cremation has taken place and
there will be no visitation or funeral service. A private family
burial of his ashes will take place at the Mira Bay Baptist Cemetery,
Mira Gut, at a later date.
Words of comfort can be sent to the family at www.sydneymemorialchapel.ca

Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of William Bill Nicoll 19202017.source
