William J. "Bill" Westcott, 81, of Norton, formerly of West Roxbury and West Somerville, died peacefully Oct. 9th, 2024, surrounded by his family. Bill was born in Cambridge to William B. Westcott and Jeannette A. (Corcoran) Westcott. He attended Cambridge public schools, and shortly after graduation he met his wife of 59 years, Lois R. (Kelley) Westcott. The couple married and moved to Somerville, where they raised their family and became involved in the life of St. Clement Parish.

In retirement, Bill spent time with Lois and their four kids and their growing families. His many hobbies included watching New England sports on TV, reading, golfing, going to Foxwoods, and having lots of laughs during countless family dinners, the holidays and family weekends in New Hampshire.

Matthew Westcott of Brockton.
