Pawcatuck - William W. Moffett, 75, of Pawcatuck, died March 9, 2025, in his home, surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Stockton, Calif., in 1949, to Joan and Bill Moffett. He grew up in Bronxville, N.Y. and Glen Ridge, N.J.

He graduated from Glen Ridge High School where he won the New Jersey State Championship in high hurdles in 1967. He graduated from Northeastern University with a B.A. in 1972.

He travelled for a year before settling in Mystic, where his family had a summer home. He worked as a carpenter and ultimately founded his own business, Moffett Builders. He later became an agent with Russ Realtors.

A Deacon at Union Baptist Church, he was an active participant in the Sunday Morning Forum. He was a long-time volunteer at the Arts Cafe Mystic. He was an excellent dancer.

He is survived by his son Christopher Moffett who is currently an officer in the United States Army; his sisters, Catharine Moffett and Susan Moffett; 7 nieces and nephews; and three grandnieces. As children, they adored their Uncle Bill who would take them tubing off the Allyns Alley dock, skiing in Vermont, or sitting in a hot tub in his house in the woods. He was a devoted brother to Susan whom he would visit every Sunday at Academy Point.

A service will be held for him at Union Baptist Church in June.
