William Levy Obituary
Bee proudly served as a Corporal in the US Army before returning home to work in several local industries that shaped Bridgewater's character. Over the years, he was employed at the Lucy Shoe Factory, the Bridgewater Independent Nail Factory, and Baker's Chocolate before purchasing a gas station on Main Street. He ran Bee's Friendly Service Station for several years before later selling the business in 1974. Following this, Bee did maintenance work at the Bridgewater Housing Authority for over 25 years. He retired from this position at 65 years old.
Bee was a true jack of all trades, worked well with his hands, and could fix just about anything. He will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Bee is predeceased by his wife, Alyce (DiMeo) Levy, his parents, Clarence A. and Doris M. (LeClair) Levy, as well as his siblings, Ruth Turski, Clarence A. "Brother" Levy, Jr., Helen "Sister" Folloni, and James E. "Teddy" Levy.
He is survived by his three children, Donna E. Frost and her husband Wayne of Bridgewater, Jayne I. Turner and her husband David of Bridgewater, and William H. Levy, Jr. and his wife Debra of Raynham. He also leaves behind 7 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.
