William L. (Bill) Brodie of Andover, formerly of Chelsea, passed away peacefully surrounded by loving family, to whom he was devoted, on March 14, 2020. Bill shared 55 years of marriage, friendship and adventure with his beloved wife Bobbi (Cohen). Bill’s love of family and faith was nurtured by his parents, the late Irving and Charlotte (Rosenfield) Brodie, and strengthened by the bonds of brotherhood with Philip and Edward. Bill was the founder of Classic Glass of Woburn, which he owned for 46 years. His love of the glass industry was nurtured at a young age in the family business, JN Phillips Glass. His greatest passion was his children Shari Fabiani & her husband Tom; Jami Marad & her husband Paul and the loves of his life, grandchildren Paige Ilyce Fabiani, Jacob Brodie Fabiani, Samuel George Marad, and Matthew David Marad. Bill loved all things New England, especially sports, stock car racing. But his greatest joy was cheering on his grandchildren on the field, rink, and court.
