William Nickol Obituary

Nickol, William Edward
DELMAR -
William Edward Nickol, 64, of Delmar, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, December 19, 2024.
He was born on September 8, 1960, in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., to Robert and Thelma (Norman) Nickol and grew up in Bethlehem, Pa., with his seven siblings.
William's greatest joy in life was his family. He also enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, such as walking his beloved dog, Noodles, watching football, reading the newspaper, and spending time watching Old Westerns.
He was a dedicated employee at Waste Management for 25 years, where he was a valued and hardworking team member.
He leaves behind his three beautiful daughters, Christina (Luis) Nickol, Sharon (John) Lopez, and Grace Nickol; as well as his former wife, Dawn Devine. He is also survived by seven grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
Honoring his request, there will be no formal service. His family will be holding a private Celebration of Life to honor his memory in the near future.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Boys & Girls Club of Bethlehem, Pa., (bcgob.org), a place that meant so much to Bill growing up.

I got to know Bill at WM in Poestenkill. He was a genuine nice guy. He was always there to talk and give me a hand. I am so sorry to hear of his loss. I miss seeing humans chatting. Jim Hannan
