William F. “Billy” Bemis passed away on November 30, 2024. He was 56 years old.
Billy was a lifelong resident of Malden and a graduate of Malden High School, class of 1986. He worked as an executive chef for many years at various places, and most recently at the Salem Country Club where he felt like family.
Billy fought a long and hard fight against diabetes and heart disease, which he sadly lost to. Billy’s personality was lively, he knew just how to put a smile on everyone’s faces and was always the funniest person in the room. He loved animals, especially his dog, Harley, which I know he is with now.”
Billy was the beloved son of Frederick W. Bemis and the late Rachelle J. (Teta). He was the loving brother of Sandra Greige and her husband Charles DiPerri of Peabody. Billy was the dear nephew of Christine Capillo and uncle of Zeina Greige, Leila Greige, Zaki Greige and Jenna Greige. He is also survived by his cousins Angela Tsiumis, Gina Powers and Michael Capillo and their families.
