William Hewett Obituary
- February 2, 2024
departed this world shortly after celebrating his 88th birthday with family and friends. Born in Buffalo, NY, Bill was the eldest of 6 children to Dr. Joseph and Ruth (Yensan) Hewett. A graduate of Canisius College, he obtained his MD from the University of Buffalo School of Medicine in 1961. Shortly after, he enlisted in the US Army. Upon retiring from the Army as Major, Bill settled in West Hartford, CT and joined a successful obstetrics & gynecology practice at Hartford Hospital. He later specialized in Gynecologic Oncology and served as President of Mid-Atlantic Gynecologic Oncology Society and President for both the New England and Connecticut American Cancer Societies. After practicing medicine for nearly 30 years, Bill enjoyed a 2nd career as a pilot and flight instructor out of Brainard Airfield in Hartford, CT. He is survived by his devoted wife and life partner, Marian (Forti) Hewett (a native of North Evans, NY) and his 8 children and 17 grandchildren. He leaves behind a legacy of love, wisdom, and enduring memories.
