William ‘Billy’ Joseph Roach

William ‘Billy’ Joseph Roach

Date de naissance : 8 juin 1958

It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness we announce the passing our grandfather, father, brother, son, and friend, William ‘Billy’ Joseph Roach. Born June 8, 1958, he was the son of Henry Joseph and the late Marie Elizabeth Roach (MacMullin). Billy was loved for his incredible sense of humor and his quips, which no one escaped. Billy enjoyed bowling and meeting friends at the mall and Lotto Booth. Through many difficulties in life, Billy maintained his Faith, a strong love for his family and had a joke or funny story for all occasions. The loves of Billy's life were his two girls and he cherished many moments with them. Billy was in the Canadian Armed Forces for 3 years. He then moved to the Northwest Territories where he took a position as Grocery Manager for the North West Company. He retired in 1992 with health issues and returned home to Cape Breton.
Billy is survived by his only grandson, Kaize (Yellowknife, NWT); two daughters, Tanya, (Yellowknife, NWT) and Samantha (Sydney); sister, Linda Roach (Sydney); brother, Ronald Roach (Winnipeg) and Bill McMullin (Bedford). Billy is survived by his special friend and favorite nephew, Justin Roach and his friend, Heather Warner, whom he shared many trips to the mall and countless hours laughing with and watching his favorite shows, like Fail Army, Pure Genius and America's Funniest Home Videos. He is also survived by his former wife, Dorothy Bruce (Winnipeg) and by several nieces and nephews.
Billy is predeceased by his mother, Marie Elizabeth Roach (McMullin), whom he adored and his childhood canine companion, Flash.
There will be a Visitation Tuesday, December 13, 2016 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. in the SW Chant and Son Funeral Home. A celebration of life will be Wednesday December 14, 2016 at 11 a.m. also from the SW Chant and Son Funeral Home, 564 Alexandra Street, Sydney. Rev. Sheldon Chant officiating. In lieu of Flowers and Gifts, we ask that you please make a Donation to the Charity of your choice; Billy would be Proud of that!
