Obituary of Bill Billick

Billick, William Michael "Bill"- It is with great sadness we, the children of Bill, announce his passing on December 27th, 2017 at the Aberdeen Hospital after a brief illness with family at his side. Dad grew up on Red Row, Stellarton the only boy of William and Rose Billick. Bill’s love of sport started early, and he played many, but hockey was his passion. He was well known locally for his hard play and we are told he was a force to be recond with. He had been asked to try out for the NY Rangers, but home called him back. Soon after he met and fell in love with Mom (Sandra McClure). Dads first job after his semi-pro career was at MacBain Mine in Thorburn. After the mine closed he gained employment with NS Power and worked there until his retirement. He will be sadly missed by his only surviving sister Tosha MacMillan, New Glasgow; sons, Bill, Bob, Mike, New Glasgow and Todd (Kim), Linacy; his pride and joy, grandson Andrew. He was predeceased by his wife Sandra, parents and sisters Mary Brown Davidson and Gina MacKay. The family would like to thank the following: the VON, 4th Floor North Wing Nurses; the Palliative Care team, you are angels that walk among us; Dr. Bashar Jazrawi for ensuring we had some private time with Dad, bless you all. Cremation has taken place. There will be no services as per Dads request. Donations in Dads memory may be made to the Aberdeen Health Foundation, Palliative Care Unit Endowment or to the Pictou County Sports Hall of Fame. www.angusfuneralhomes.com
