- [S5] Obituary.
William S. Gamache, 50, of 468 Parker St., Gardner, died unexpectedly at home on Wednesday, December 9, 2009.
Bill, son of William D. Gamache of St. Cloud, Florida and the late Patricia A. (Tisdale) Gamache, was born in Gardner on July 12, 1959 and spent some time living in the southwest but has lived in Gardner for the majority of his life.
Bill graduated from Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical School in 1978 and went on to graduate from East Coast Aero Tech as an airplane mechanic. He was a private Pilot and plane mechanic at the Fitchburg Airport in Fitchburg. For twenty years, he drove 18 wheelers independently and more recently was employed as a Medical Equipment Technician for North Atlantic Medical Company in Leominster, where he was still working at the time of his death.
Bill was extremely handy. He had an eye for woodworking and a great attention to detail and owned nearly every tool of the trade. He was his own general contractor and enjoyed home carpentry, plumbing, and electrical work. In fact, he enjoyed several side jobs and was a sewing machine repairman and at one time, was also a locksmith. Bill dabbled in the standup comedy circuit. He took classes in stand-up and improv in order to sharpen his technique and did a few gigs at various comedy spots. He will be remembered best as wanting to make people happy by making them laugh.
He will be sadly missed by his beloved daughter; Melissa S. Nutting-Gamache of Leominster, his father; William D. Gamache of St. Cloud, Florida, his partner of twelve years; Charlene A. Wilson of Gardner, one brother; Bryan M. Gamache and his wife Allison of Gardner, two sisters; Janice M. Gamache of Gardner and Donna L.
