William P. Bonito

William P. Bonito, 70, of East Falmouth, passed away peacefully on January 19, 2022, after a brief illness at Cape Cod Hospital. Devoted and loving son, born to the late William and Norma Bonito, on April 25, 1951, he lived his entire life in East Falmouth.
Known by family and friends as "Billy" or "Pat", he will most be remembered for his industrious nature. While most people look forward to retirement, he took immense pride in his work, and the fruits of his labor grace the rocky shorelines from Falmouth to Provincetown.
When his father formed Bonito Construction, he immediately took to construction and operating heavy equipment. That passion never faded, and he continued what he loved.
He took great pride as a native Cape Codder and loved the Town of Falmouth and the people in it. We will miss the stories of the good ol days in Falmouth where neighbors were family and your word and a handshake were worth more than gold.
He was a member of the Historical Construction Association, & Northeast Rockbusters, & a lifetime member of Local4.
Those who knew him well appreciated his kind heart, warm smile, & child-like sense of humor.
When he wasn't at the plant or a job site, he appreciated the simpler things in life like a fresh cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee, curling up on the couch with his dogs, and going to truck, equipment, & antique toy shows.
His legacy will live on through the many gifts he left in our hearts. The joy of a hard day's work, the power of humility, and the rewards of living with integrity.
He leaves behind his eternal love, Kathleen Sodekson, her beloved sons Alex & Josh, and their Dachshund Sadie. And was greeted at heaven's gates by his love bug, Missy's wagging tail and exuberant bark.
He is also survived by his daughters, Nanci Williams and Jennifer Bonito of ME, his sister Sharon Losordo and her husband Jonathan of Falmouth, his nieces Julie Shedlock and her husband Matthew of TX, and Mary Losordo of UT.
He was predeceased by his son, William Jason Bonito and his daughter, Diane Bonito.
