William Loree Obituary

WILLIMANTIC

William Loree Jr., 70, passed away on July 14, 2025, in Peachtree City, Georgia. Born on September 20, 1954, in Willimantic, Connecticut, William lived a life marked by warmth, laughter, and a deep love for his family and favorite pastimes.

William was known for his huge heart and vibrant spirit. Often described as the life of the party, he brought joy and energy wherever he went. His sense of humor and generous nature left a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to know him.

He found great joy in simple pleasures- cheering on the New York Yankees with unwavering loyalty, playing horseshoes with friends and family, and enjoying spirited games of cards. These hobbies were more than pastimes; they were opportunities for connection and celebration that reflected his fun-loving personality.

William is survived by his devoted wife, Carolyn Loree; his daughter, Heather Goodrich and her husband, Nathaniel Goodrich; and his beloved granddaughter, Marlee Goodrich. He also leaves behind his brother, Ronald Loree and sister, Deborah Ursin. William was predeceased by his first wife, Brenda Loree and his sister, Priscilla Dazy.

A memorial service to honor William's life was held in Peachtree City, Georgia.

May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him and continue to inspire laughter, love, and togetherness.

We met Bill when he move to Peachtree City, GA. He greeted us with a warm smile and gentle hand shake. He was very devoted to his family and friends. He was loved by all and will be so very missed. We have beautiful memories of Bill bringing a room of people to a belly gut type of laughter. Rest in peace dear Bill.

Bill was quick to offer a smile followed by a hug. He was funny and loving, he loved his family with all he was. He had strong beliefs when it came to sports and government, so you better know what you are talking about before you challenged him. He wasn't flashy nor was he one who needed one of everything new. His love was obvious; he loved his Yankees and most in life he loved his family. It was my honor to get to know him. He will be missed.
