BRADFORD – William Stuart McCarron, 60, died on Saturday, March 14, 2020 at Tufts Medical Center in Boston. He was lovingly known as Billy, Bill, Willie, Pops, Dad, Grandpa Bill, and Uncle Lilly Billy.
Billy was born in Lynn, MA in 1959 to Peter J. McCarron and the late Sharon (Brown) McCarron Felker. He lived his early years in Kingston and Newton, NH, and was raised in Merrimac, MA.
Billy worked various jobs throughout his life, and was most recently employed with GSG Supply, Inc. of Haverhill, for over 20 years, becoming the Warehouse Manager. He was a long standing member of the Crescent Yacht Club in Bradford, serving on the Investigating Committee, and loved working as a volunteer for all of the club's events.
From a young age, Billy could be found in a crowd of friends, enjoying each others company with food, drink, and music. This continued through his life. Billy had his own sense of style and enjoyed dressing for occasions. If there was a theme, Billy dressed the part, always himself, always the individual. Food and festivities were his forte, as well as cuttin' a rug with his Marla. The flow on the floor was electric, raising the energy in the room and mesmerizing many.
Billy had a lifetime love of Darts, playing for numerous leagues and receiving many trophies. He was a huge fan of NASCAR, New England sports, horse racing, and fishing. Food went along with all of these activities and Billy made sure the masses were fed. The love, art, and joy of cooking was part of who Billy was. Music and Hallmark movies were favorites of Bill's. Whether cleaning the house on Sunday mornings to the blues, or gathering with others to an array of styles, music was always a part of his life. The louder, the better. He thoroughly enjoyed double stuffed Oreos, Pepsi, mowing the lawn, planting flowers, and snow plowing EVERYTHING in the neighborhood!
Billy will always be remembered as the gentle giant of the family; a healing and uplifting presence. He wore his heart on his sleeve, would give you the shirt off his back, and had a heart of gold. Billy had the amazing opportunity to meet his son, Tim, for the first time in 39 years in 2019. Their short time together created memories to last; their first time meeting, the lobster boil, grandson Jake chopping wood, meeting Bill's family and friends, among others.
As a "Step-in Dad", he taught Marla's children valuable life skills, humor (remember Urkel?), and that fighting solves nothing.
Billy is survived by his father Peter J. McCarron and wife Judy, of Seabrook, NH, his son Tim, wife Laura, and grandson Jake Gwaltney of Corpus Christi, TX, his soulmate Marla Aasen and her children Josef Aasen, Megan Marshall, Mia Marini, and Marina Marini, all of NH, brother Thomas P. McCarron of Bradford, MA and his children Rory, Jordan, Brooke, and Jesse, sisters Cathleen (Missy) Perron and husband Bill of Deerfield, NH and children Mickey Fisher and Ssgt. B. Clay Fisher, Mary McCarron and children of Maine, Anne McCarron and children of NH, step brothers Eddie Felker and wife Claudia, Jimmy Felker and wife Melanie, many aunts, uncles, and cousins, and his very special dear friend Joe Walden of Merrimac, MA. Billy was predeceased by his mother Sharon (Brown) McCarron Felker, stepfather N. Edward Felker, brother Michael D. McCarron, and stepbrother, Brad J. Eldon.
No services are planned at this time due to COVID-19 restrictions.
