Bill Roddick

With broken hearts we announce the passing of David William “Bill” Roddick of Mill Brook, Pictou County on June 10, 2017 in the Aberdeen Palliative Care surrounded by his loving family after a five-month battle with cancer.

Born Oct. 3, 1961, he was a son of the late Bill and Joan Roddick, Pictou.

He was a loyal Michelin employee for the past

36 years. Bill was an avid sports fan, always faithful to his Boston Bruins, which he passed on to his boys and grandchildren. Bill was involved in his boys’ baseball and hockey, either cheering them on or coaching. He looked forward to his weekly phone calls from his sister Nelda (Ian) Robson, California and always enjoyed his Saturday night card games, Sunday Pictou County Scotians Jr. Hockey games, hunting season with his boys, and the yearly trips down south with family and friends.

He is survived by his wife and friend Dale (Fraser) of 35 years, a loving father to sons Ryan (Brittany Fraser), New Glasgow; Fraser (Liz),
