Nicholas (Nick) Hay, 80, of Huntsville, Ontario, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on July 17, 2024.
Nick was born on January 21, 1944, in Edinburgh, Scotland. On October 4, 1963, Nick and Beatrice were married. In 1969, they emigrated to Canada with their two small children, Suzanne, aged five, and Stephen, aged two, making a new life together in Toronto. As a family, they enjoyed camping in Huntsville so much that they moved there in 1976, creating a warm and welcoming home.
Nick had a lifelong passion for music and proudly played the drum in the Cameron of Lochiel Pipes and Drums – Huntsville band for more than 40 impressive years. He enjoyed teaching new members his passion for playing the drum. As a member of the Stephenson District Lions Club, Nick enjoyed serving and improving his community.
He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Beatrice; his sister, Eileen McDonald; daughter, Suzanne Ambrosio (Dan Gravelle); son, Stephen Hay (Michaela); and cherished grandchildren, Christopher Pincivero, Lucas Hay, and Maggie Hay. Nick was a loving husband, father, and grandfather, and his legacy of kindness, dedication, and love will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Stephenson District Lions Club at stephensonlions.ca or Hospice Huntsville at hospicehuntsville.com in Nick’s memory.
Nick will be dearly missed and fondly remembered by his family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
