William Spiller Obituary
Dick, as he was known (or Puppie, Kickie, Dad), grew up in Kittery as the eldest child of six with sisters Joyce, Mary, and Phyliss along with brothers John and Jim. It was there he met the love of his life Nancy Spiller (Lebel) in first grade. They eventually married and raised their four boys Michael, Bryan, Sean, and Tom. The love of his family was his highest priority. He worked long hours but always made time to attend his son's numerous activities. This loving environment is the reason many people consider the Spiller's as their second family.
He was an unselfish man that enforced the idea to be proud of the work that you do, whatever that may be. He allowed his family to develop into strong individuals with their own ideas and opinions that often varied from his own. Christmas was his favorite holiday with a deep connection to The Polar Express (he still heard the bell!) He was never afraid to show his sensitive side, crying at happy and sad situations. His body's journey has ended but his loving spirit lives on in all of us who knew him.
