Obituary of William Francis Romo

William “Bill” Romo, age 64 years of Head Chezzetcook, passed away on November 25, 2020 at Twin Oaks Memorial Hospital, Musquodoboit Harbour with his loving wife of 42 years by his side.  Born in Halifax on January 3, 1956 in the Halifax Infirmary, he was the son of the late Weldon and Stella (Myatt) Romo.

Bill graduated from DRVS in 1974 with a trade in motor vehicle repair.  He worked with Ken Robb, Autoport, Leo J. Casavechia at the Esso Imperial Oil Refinery and O.P. Fiberglass, but in the last few years you could usually find him wrenching on something out in the garage.

He is survived by his loving wife Heather (Bellefontaine) Romo; son Michael (Lynn) Romo; three grandsons Evan, Jasper and Oliver; two brothers Weldon (Gail) and Gerald (Dianne); mother-in-law Shirley Bellefontaine; brothers-in-law Darrel (Mary), Paul (Nancy), Larry (Marlene), Allan (Wanda), Pierre (Valerie), Vincent (Laura); sisters-in-law Joanne (Dave), Sandra (Bruce), Michelle (Jim); and many, many extended family members and friends.

Beside his parents, Bill was also predeceased by his son Shawn (1996) and father-in-law Nelson Bellefontaine (2019).

This page is not long enough to list all of Bill’s qualities, but everyone who knew him knows that he was an all-around genuine, great man.  He will be missed by family and all who knew and loved him.  Gone but not forgotten, forever in our hearts.
