You are reading the obituary that was written by Bill. As a result, it has been intentionally kept brief.

Prior to moving to New Hampshire in 2017, Bill was a former Vermonter, residing in several Vermont towns during his lifetime. He graduated from Black River High School in Ludlow, VT, and Champlain College, in Burlington, VT. Bill spent nearly 36 years of his working life as a financial institutions examiner and supervisory examinations director of Vermont chartered financial institutions. He also independently performed accounting work for various organizations and individuals. Bill was a Certified Financial Examiner (CFE) and Certified Examinations Manager (CEM). 

Bill is survived by his wife Tonya (Geraw) Frye whom he married in 1964; a daughter and her husband, a granddaughter, a brother, Michael, as well as several nieces and a nephew. 

Bill was predeceased by his beloved son, Scott, a very special aunt and uncle Henrietta and Ralph Wilcox, and his parents. 

As a 45 (plus) year member of Lee Lodge #30, F.&A.M., Castleton, VT, Bill served as Treasure for over 20 years and as Master of the lodge for two years. He was also a member of The Grand Order of the Sword of Bunker Hill and a previous board member and Treasurer of several other organizations over the course of his lifetime. 

Bill especially enjoyed time with his daughter and her family, and life at his former lake home in Vermont.

Honoring Bill's wishes, there will be no calling hours or funeral service. A graveside Masonic burial ceremony, performed by members of Lee Lodge, will be held at the Hillside Cemetery in Castleton, Vermont, in the Spring of 2027.

Arrangements for the burial ceremony are being handled by the Ducharme Funeral Home, Castleton, Vermont.
