William Scagos Obituary

William E. Scagos
Member of a well-known Lowell family

William E. Scagos, 82, of Largo, FL and Barrington, NH, but formerly of Lowell, died Wednesday morning at the Hyder Family Hospice House in Dover, New Hampshire.

He was the beloved husband of Barbara A. (Howe) Scagos, who survives him, and with whom he would have celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary this Sunday.

Born in Manlius, NY, July 25, 1934, a son of the late Evangelos G. and the late Eugenicoula (Troubataris) Scagos, he attended Lowell schools and was a graduate of Lowell High School with the Class of 1952.

A sales and marketing representative for most of his career, Bill, spent over 25 years with Sager Electronics until his retirement in 1996.

A past member of UCT, Bill had many interests including cooking, gardening, bingo and shopping for collectables, however, his greatest joy was the time he spent with his family.

He was also a kind and thoughtful man who took great happiness out of helping others throughout his life. For those who knew him well he will be deeply missed.

Besides his wife, Bill is survived by three children W. Brian Scagos of Jacksonville, FL, Cheryl Langlois and her husband Michael of Barrington, NH and Neil P. Scagos and his fiancée Stephanie Syllaba of Cleveland, Ohio; a brother George Scagos of Barrington, RI,; a sister Cynthia Natsios of Tyngsborough; four grandchildren David O'Donnell and his wife Julia, Nicole O'Donnell, Christie Lynn Scagos and William B. Scagos, Jr.; step grandchildren Nicole and Robert Langlois; great grandchildren Luke, Sam, Tommy and Courtney; many special nieces and nephews; and his special cousins in the Patsourakos and Mangiavas families.

We are so sad to hear of Billy's passing. He was a wonderful man, always thinking of others before himself. He was always laughing and smiling. I will remember him zipping around the park on his golf cart on a mission to help someone with a project. He always had that specially-needed-something in his shed. We're so glad we got to see him on our last visit. We will truly miss him and are grateful we knew him. Our prayers to Barbara and family. Love, Mike and Barbara
