William "Bill" Eudailey III

William Albert "Bill" Eudailey III, friend, husband, father, and grandfather, passed peacefully at home in Cotuit, Massachusetts, on December 12, 2024, after a brief battle with cancer.
To know Bill was a blessing and a gift. His life was defined by hard work, kindness, and family. Born in College Grove, Tennessee to parents William Albert Eudailey Jr and Margaret Elizabeth Lee Eudailey, Bill spent his early years working on the family farm and a nurturing a fascination for mechanics. He earned his Doctor of Pharmacy degree from University of Tennessee in 1969. Bill was a pharmacist by trade, but his intellect, integrity, and personality took him around the world, working in Life Sciences and Biotechnology. He ultimately settled in Massachusetts, having worked for the companies Millipore, Costar, Corning, and Biopure over the years. Bill's professional accomplishments were rarely mentioned though, as he was most proud of his family. He cherished time with his children, whether skiing in Maine or fishing in Cape Cod. He is survived by his loving wife Suzanne, his sister Bobbie Tackett; his three sons, Jason (Melissa), Kyle (Mary Hayward) and Todd; his five grand-children Judson, Foster, Edie, Ashton, and Robert; his three stepchildren; Michael Cronin (Karen), Jessica Field (Peter) and Alex Cronin (Kat); and his three step grandchildren Jake Cronin, Mariana Field, and Mac Field.
Bill approached the world with an analytical mind, but he approached people with grace, patience, and genuine care. His passion for family was rivaled only by his passion for cars, boats, motorcycles, and the complexities that accompanied them. His life and legacy will continue with the values and love he generously shared with family and friends.
Graveside services will be held in College Grove, Tennessee on Saturday, January 18th at 2:00 pm at College Grove Cemetery. May his memory and smile bring comfort to all who were fortunate to know him.
