William Suppa Obituary
William J. Suppa, Jr. of Nashua, NH passed away on July 3rd after a brief illness. He was born on August 18, 1942 in Long Island, NY to William J. Suppa, Sr. and Antoinette (Raymond) Suppa.
He is survived by Christine Georges, his lifetime partner; son William J. Suppa III and his wife Laurie of Hudson, NH; his son Jamie Suppa and his wife Cindy of Pelham, NH; four grandchildren: Anthony, Ashley, Alexandra and Victoria Suppa. Bill was also survived by his sister Geraldine of Hicksville, NY, his brother Salvatore of Savannah, GA and several nieces and nephews.
Bill graduated from The Mannes School of Music at NYU as an accomplished musician, specializing in saxophone. His early career consisted of touring the nation and appearing on the Tonight Show with Joey Dee and the Starlighters. He then joined Mickey and Larry and the Exciters and continued to tour the country. Bill settled in the Lowell area and formed a band called Now and Then, playing at weddings and local venues.
He began teaching Music in 1972 at the Daley School in Lowell until his retirement in 2004. His students will tell you that their not so fondest memory was having to sing solos in front of the entire class.
For the past 20 years, Bill has been employed at Indian Ridge Country Club in Andover as a starter. Being an avid golfer, this was his dream job which he performed with humor and professionalism. His co workers and the members at the Ridge became his second family. His employers have said that he made Indian Ridge a better place because he had the innate ability to do the job extremely well because he cared. As Bill would say, "That's what I do".
Bill will be missed by everyone and the mark he left on all who knew him will live on forever.

Not sure if this Billy Suppa was in Billerica MA band The Music Staff, of my husband Stephen Waitkunas who died @ 26 yrs. If so he was a great and creative person and so nice to me and Stephen's children. We are so sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing him with us for that brief but important time.

Sincere condolences to the Suppa family. Mr. Suppa was my music teacher at the Daley School, he was a great guy, even when he would make us sing that solo in front of the class. He was loved by all his students, myself included. May he rest in peace.

Chris.... my heart is broken to hear of the loss of Billy. You both were teachers I have the fondest memories of. When I became a teacher at the Daley myself, it was amazing to have you both around during that time. Billy stealing lunches.....just one of his antics! He was such a fun person! Prayers and positive thoughts to you and your families.....
