William (Bill) Sweeney of Franklin, and a former resident of Newton (The Lake), passed away at his home on Sunday, September 3, 2023.
Bill was the beloved husband of 34 years to Anne (Vaccaro) Sweeney, proud father to his daughter Jenna Sweeney of Franklin, son Sargent Cole Sweeney of the US Army and his newest member Stella, his 3.5 lbs. Yorkie. He was survived by his four siblings, many cousins and was an Uncle to a number of nieces and nephews.
Bill was a 1983 graduate of Newton North High School and earned a degree in Engineering at Blue Hills Technical Institute in 1985.
Bill was best known for his humor, his quick wit and his love of storytelling. He could tell a tale like no other and was told by many that he should write a book. Bill lived his life loud, generously and with a big heart.
Those who knew him knew of his love for football, a good meal and mostly to brag about his children.
There will be a Celebration of Life for Bill on Saturday September 9, 2023, at 10:00 AM, in the New England Chapel located at 300 East Central St., Franklin, MA.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made to the American Red Cross.
The Charles F. Oteri and Son Franklin Funeral Home is honored to assist the Sweeney family. guestbook www.oterifuneralhome.com
