Waterboro – William F. Knights (Bill/Billy), age 69 passed away on August 20, 2023, at his home after battling cancer.
He was born in Saugus, Massachusetts on June 15, 1954, to his proud parents John & Claire Knights. Bill was the eldest child of four children.
Bill was a truck driver by trade, like his father, working in the industry for his entire career. He was an “old school” kind of guy with a strong work ethic. He was a loving and devoted brother, husband, father, stepfather, grandfather, uncle and god father. He had a great smile and a contagious laugh, a people person by nature.
Hockey was Bill’s passion, it brought him much joy. He worked for the Portland Pirates/Maine Mariners in the Booster Club and then moved onto serving as an Off Ice Official for the team(s). He loved handing pucks out to the little kids at the games.
He was also an avid blood and platelet donor for years with the American Red Cross, a cause near and dear to his heart. Over the years he made 60 blood donations totaling 7.5 gallons and 736 units of platelets.
In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make a blood, platelet or monetary donation to the American Red Cross in his honor.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Chad E. Poitras Cremation and Funeral Service, Buxton, www.mainefuneral.com
