Dad first served on the Cable Ship, the C.S. Lord Kelvin as a cook (as anyone who has tasted his cooking- knew he was a great cook.) For the remainder part of his life, he was a fisherman, avid hunter and enjoyed recreational fishing with friends.

Survived by his loving wife, Dorothea “Dot” Margaret Hancock (Shoreham Village) and 6 children; Sandra (Dale) Knock, Lunenburg; Davilyn (Richard) Knickle, Lunenburg; Levi (Marilyn) Hancock, Newfoundland; Donna Moody, Lockeport; Lana (Vaughn) Dexter, Sable River and Darren (Jackie) Hancock, Lunenburg. He was a loving grandfather to several grandchildren and great grandchildren. He also leaves behind sisters, Maude (Phillip) Savory, Back Centre; Laura Savory, Bridgewater; and Janie (Wayne) Fraser, Upper LaHave.

He was predeceased by his mother and father and brothers, Charles (Clarissa) Hancock, Lunenburg and Robert (Muriel) Hancock, Lunenburg.

A service and interment will be held at a later date in Newfoundland.
