Connors, William Francis “Bill” – Brookfield/middle Stewiacke

Connors, William Francis “Bill” – Age 81 of Elk Court, Brookfield, and formerly of Middle Stewiacke, passed away peacefully on December 21, 2017, surrounded by his loving family. Born in Dartmouth, he was a son of the late John and Mary (Boutilier) Connors, and was the last surviving member of his family.

He was a hard worker who drove a transport truck for 31 years, proudly accident free. Dad loved old westerns, reading, hunting, fishing, darts, and was quite the handyman on most anything. He had a good sense of humour, with such an infectious laugh, it would leave you smiling.

He is survived by his children, Doug (Donna Dell), Dale Mcconnell (Ron), Lorelei Taylor (Barry), Teresa; grandchildren, Kristopher, Matthew and Kyle Mcconnell; Erin, Cory, Adam and Emma Taylor; greatgrandchildren, Mikayla, Kameron, Kolton and Kitana; in-laws, Joan Connors, Jean Skinner, Muriel Smith, Harry Carter; numerous nieces and nephews; and his loving family at Elk Court, where he happily spent his final three years. He was predeceased by his loving wife of 55 years, Dorothy “Dot”; his siblings, Mary “Mamie”, Katherine, John, Bernard, George, Mildred, Jean; son-inlaw, Milton “Mit” Redmond.

Cremation has taken place under the direction of Arimathea Funeral Cooperative, Upper Musquodoboit. As per their wishes, there will be a spring burial for Mum and Dad to be laid to rest together. www. arimatheafuneral.ca.
