He is survived by his beloved wife of 55 years, Eileen; sons, Tom, Brian, and Andrew; sister, Antoinette; brother, Sylvester; and his eight grandchildren. He was also predeceased by daughter, Patricia; and brother, Gary. Bill grew up as the oldest of four children in a neighborhood in southern part of Medford, or "So Meffah" as he loved to call it, and remained close with his classmates from Medford High School. He attended Boston College where he received his BA in Economics. He was the baseball team manager and received a scholarship his final two years, enjoying back-to-back trips to Omaha for the College World Series. His dedication to BC baseball led him to be a founding member of the Boston College Diamond Club and remained an active supporter. Upon graduating, he took a job as a research analyst in New York where he met Eileen. They soon returned to Boston and were married on January 14, 1967. It was then that he and Eileen began building their family and he began building his career in the financial services industry, first with Loomis Sales and then David L. Babson and Company. In 1983, he founded Abbot Financial Management, which he managed with his son, Andrew. In 1972, Bill and Eileen moved to Andover where they raised their four children. Over his 33 years in Andover, Bill was a founder of the Andover Youth Soccer Association, served as President of Andover Little League, served on the town Finance Committee, and continually gave back to the community showing his generous nature. In addition to all these organizations, Bill was the founder of the Old Time Baseball Game fundraising event that is played every August in Cambridge and has raised more than million dollars for various local charities. Bill was a very generous, loyal family man with an infectious zest for life. Everyone who spent time with Bill, rest assured, came away with a story to tell.
