WILLIAM LARKINS Obituary

LARKINS, William F. Age 81, of Acton, passed away on September 29, 2020, after a long illness. He is survived by his beloved wife, Janice; children, Ben, Emily, Keith, Tracy, Virginia, and their spouses; five grandchildren; a great-grandson; and other treasured relatives and friends.
Bill was a tile man by trade and examples of his artistry can be found all over New England. He was also extremely handy at many other tasks and could always be counted on to provide advice and elbow grease to anyone in his circle who needed it. He shared his passion for golf with his son, Ben, and could be found on the local links whenever the opportunity arose. He was also an avid bridge player. Bill was dearly loved and will be sorely missed. A Celebration of Bill's Life will be scheduled for a future date.

I am very sorry to hear of Bill's passing which a mutual bridge player just told me. It was a great pleasure and fun to play with Bill - he often had a humorous remark and never took umbrage at how the game was going or whatever anyone else did or said. Janice - sorry I just heard. My best wishes to you and all the children knowing he was such a fine gentleman and that he is at peace now. Be well and let us all have patience as we await good times again.

Bill was a Person and subcontractor that I always could count on his tile work was always professional. I always enjoyed working with Bill. We also had the pleasure to be friends outside of work with Bill and his family. We may have lost contact over the years but I am very saddened by his passing and wish his family the very best.
