William F. Spencer

It is with sadness that we share the news of the passing of William F. Spencer, affectionately known as “Bill,” on April 16, 2024, due to complications from surgery for pancreatic cancer.

Born in Boston, MA, on March 11, 1936, to Sarah (Long) and Walter Spencer, Bill spent his early years in Quincy, MA. He graduated from North Quincy High School in 1953 and earned his BS in Electrical Engineering from Northeastern University in 1958. Following graduation, he served in the Army Reserve from 1959 to 1961.

Bill dedicated 34 years to New England Telephone, and retired in 1991 to begin his second career as a competitive runner, youth running coach, and Litchfield Budget Committee member/chairperson.
