LACONIA - William Thomas Virgin III, 49, formerly of 65 Diane Drive Belmont, NH passed away in his sleep on Friday January 4, 2013.
“Bill” as he preferred to be called born August 24, 1963 was the son of William Thomas Virgin Jr. and Linda (Angwin) Acorace. Bill attended schools in Concord, Franklin, and Plymouth, NH. During his healthier years Bill was employed at Freudenberg Nok in Bristol, Lewis and Saunders in Laconia, and as a retail clerk for the NH Liquor Commission. Bill enjoyed spending time with his family at all the birthdays, graduations and especially cookouts as he loved to cook! He would often receive requests for a few of his “fancy” dishes such as Seafood Newberg, Baked Stuffed Shrimp or Haddock. His good ole down home favorites included pizza, mac and cheese casserole and homemade onion rings and fries. Bill loved his nieces and nephews and looked forward to their visits so he could entertain them with his Donald Duck impersonations. He was quick witted and had a wonderful sense of humor, but was also a very unselfish and giving person where his family and friends were concerned. In addition to cooking Bill enjoyed cribbage, solitaire, and watching Star-Trek.
Bill is survived by his mother, Linda Acorace of Belmont, two step-fathers; John Acorace of Belmont and Arthur Durette of Columbia, his biological father William T. Virgin Jr. of Epsom, NH, three brothers; David Virgin and companion Donna Gibson of Bristol, NH, Daniel Virgin of Laconia, NH and Timothy Virgin and wife Julie of Bristol, NH, two sisters; Heidi (Durette) Holt of Wolfeboro, NH and Cathleen (Durette) LaPierre and husband Christopher LaPierre of New Durham, NH; nephews Gregory Virgin, Zackary and Nicholas Holt; nieces Darcy Virgin, Sierra Holt, Lillian and Lindsey LaPierre, Christine Rich, Carlina and Gabrielle Virgin and many aunts and uncles. Bill was pre-deceased by maternal grandparents Paul and Rachel Angwin A.K.A Nana and Gump; paternal grandparents William and Ella Virgin and Uncle Steven Angwin.
