William R. Cummings Jr.

William Roy Cummings, Jr., of Fitchburg Massachusetts, formerly of Lincoln Massachusetts, died on February 21, 2026 at Fitchburg HealthCare, following a lengthy illness. He was 68.

Known to many as Billy, he was born in Medford on January 4, 1958. He grew up in Lincoln and graduated from Lincoln Sudbury Regional High School with the class of 1977.

He started his own business, Acton Landcare Landscaping and Snow Plowing, which he ran for most of his adult life until his health declined. Billy will be remembered for his hard work ethic during the many years he took care of his customers. He was a man who also enjoyed the simple pleasures in life – attending concerts, enjoying a meal at a local restaurant and spending quality time with his family and friends.

He leaves behind his three daughters; Lisa (Cummings) Gurrie married to Michael Gurrie, Carrie Cummings and Kimberly (Cummings) Hays. He also leaves behind his grandchildren: Isabella Hays, Hailey Cummings, Jackson Gurrie and Brayden Gurrie, along with one brother, Thomas Cummings married to Morten Tjelum. Billy was preceded in death by his parents, William and Palma Cummings.
