Our father, William B. Whittaker, left this world on November 19, 2022 [two months shy of] age 97- at Seneca Hill Nursing Home. Bill lived most of his life in  Central Square.

He was born on January  30, 1926 in Cleveland, New York.
Predeceased by his wife of 71 years, Margaret (Lee). His sisters, Bette Smith and Barbara Doria and parents, William and Emma Whittaker.
He is survived by sons,  A. Scott Whittaker (Jeann), William P. Whittaker  (Sandra), daughter, Donna McGregor;  brother, Robert Whittaker (Mary);

During his long life, his occupations include: electronic repairs, restaurant owner, tax assessor, school bus driver, assistant surveyor, civilian employee at Griffiss Air Force Base,  golf course grounds keeper and farmer.
His most prized role was being a loving husband, father and grandfather.
