William Milne Obituary

William R.C Milne Jr.

Derry, NH - William R.C. Milne Jr. (Bill) of Derry NH, passed away the evening of January 10, 2024. He was 77 years old.

Bill was born in Bridgeport, CT on December 3, 1946 to William R.C. Milne Sr. and Marjorie (Eddy) Milne of Stratford CT.

Bill graduated from Frank Scott Bunnell High School, class of 1964 and went on to study briefly at Norwalk State Technical Institute. Bill later graduated from Franklin Pierce College in 1982 with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration. He had a lengthy, 25 year career with Blue Cross Blue Shield of NH as the Lead Programmer/Analyst in the Systems and Programming Department.

Bill moved to New Hampshire in 1971, which became his forever home. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends. Bill possessed a cunning wit and sense of humor and had a magical way of making anyone in his presence smile-sometimes simply by his expressive body language. His ability to make people laugh and his kind disposition will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

Bill is predeceased by his parents.

He leaves behind his daughters, Tara Lank and husband Richard Lank of Concord NH, Toni DeGennaro of Bedford NH and Jodie Antoine of Manchester NH. He also leaves behind five grandchildren, Kinsey Brassaw, Christopher Antoine, Holly Antoine, Abbie DeGennaro, Dante DeGennaro and one brother, Richard Milne.

Bill's family would like to thank the loving staff at Epsom Health Care Center and Brookhaven Hospice.

Arrangements are private. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to: Brain Injury Association of New Hampshire at: bianh.org or 52 Pleasant St., Concord NH 03301
