Wilfred "Will" Joseph White

Bath – Wilfred “Will” J. White, 80 of the Old Brunswick Rd. passed away peacefully at the Woodlands Memory Care of Lewiston on Wednesday Oct. 23, 2024.

He was born in Rumford on Dec. 4, 1943 a son of Raymond and Lottie Berry White.

Will was a man of many gifts and talents. In his younger years’ he was a lumberjack, a butcher, a chef, and a truck driver, just to name a few.  A bit later in life Will discovered his greatest passion was woodworking and refinishing furniture; and with that, he and his wife, Sylvia established S&W Furniture Restoration, and for over 25 years, Will’ hands were never idle and his craftsmanship touched the lives of countless numbers all over the Bath-Brunswick community and beyond. 

Will had many hobbies throughout his life, but his greatest pleasure came from spending time hunting and walking through the woods of Maine and fishing in the Rangeley region with his best friend and wife, Sylvia.

In Wilfred White, we have lost a dad, a bumpa, a grampy Will, and a friend- but his spirit will live on in the memories of all who knew him.  He will be missed by many. 

Will leaves behind a legacy of love, hard work, and dedication to his family, friends, and community.
