- Carl Edward Wilcox Obituary
It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Carl Edward Wilcox, 69, of Kennetcook, NS. Carl passed away surrounded by his family in the Colchester East Hants Health Centre in Truro, NS, on January 8th, 2025.
Carl was born in Toronto, ON, to the late Edward and Frances (Coffill) Wilcox on March 30th, 1955. Carl and his five siblings grew up in Hantsport, NS, where he had many fond memories, often involving practical jokes on friends and neighbours. Carl always had a love of anything with an engine and worked in many jobs as both a mechanic and truck driver throughout his life; including the Annapolis Valley Ready-Mix Cement Plant, Long Haul Trucking and many years at the Bill Lynch Shows where he made many lifelong friendships. In the 90’s Carl could often be found at his pool hall, Downtown Amusements, in Windsor, NS, which he co-owned and operated, making many great friends and memories along the way! Carl had a great sense of humour and loved to joke around and carry on. He was a loyal friend who you could always call on if you ever needed a hand. He loved music, playing guitar, telling stories of all his adventures and going for “Sunday” drives often to go visit family and friends. He was a wonderful Dad, Brother, Uncle, Grampie and Friend and he will be missed dearly!
He is preceded in death by his Father, Edward Ralph Wilcox of Bay Roberts, NL. Mother; Frances Marie (Coffill) Wilcox of Hortonville, NS. and an infant brother.
Celebration Of Life will be held on Saturday Jan 25th from 2pm - 4pm. at Hantsport Memorial Community Centre (HMCC) 6 Main Street, Hantsport, NS. All are welcome!
