It is with broken hearts and beautiful memories that we announce the passing of our beloved father and grandfather, William "Billy" MacLeod on October 5, 2018, at home, surrounded by his family.
Born July 5, 1932, in Framboise, he was the son of the late John Allan and Mary Anne (MacLeod) MacLeod.
Billy is survived by his son, Richard (Debbie), Juniper Mountain; granddaughters, Breanna (Brett) Smith, Enfield and Maggie MacLeod, Juniper Mountain; sisters, Peggy Mason, Dartmouth, Dolena Brown, Sydney, Danelda (Earl) Drysdale, Mira Rd., Mary (Sonny) Blackmore, Glace Bay and Marina (Ron) Seifried, Ontario; brothers, Angus (Alice), Marion Bridge, John James (Reene), Framboise; as well as his brother-in-law, Earl MacPherson.
He was predeceased by his wife of over 60 years, Christene (MacDonald); sisters, Effie (Lester) MacLeod, Evelyn (Peter) MacLeod, Christie (John) Holmes and Annie MacPherson.
Billy loved many things in life, including fiddle music, fixing things and dogs. But the real loves of his life were family. He was an amazing father and cherished grandfather. He made the best bacon and eggs to be found and could always be counted on to share a baked potato with his granddaughter, Maggie. He always made sure Breanna's car was in top shape for her return trips to the mainland. Words cannot express how much he will be missed.
Visitation will take place at Sydney Memorial Chapel on Tuesday from 6-8 p.m.
Funeral service will be held at Fourchu United Church on Wednesday, October 10 at 11 a.m. Rev. Dana Feltmate officiating. Interment in St. Andrew's Cemetery, Framboise.
The family would like to send a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Greg Myatt, who was wonderful with Billy.
Memorials may be made to Palliative Care at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital or the Patient Care Fund.
Words of comfort can be sent to the family at www.sydneymemorialchapel.ca or e-mail sydneymemorialchapel@ns.sympatico.ca.
