YARMOUTH – William “Bill” Robert Cady, age 70, passed away on February 28, 2019, at the Gosnell Memorial Hospice House in Scarborough, after a courageous battle with cancer.
He was born in York, Maine on August 18, 1948, the first son of Sybil Mae (Winn) and Robert Lee Cady.
After graduating from Wells High School, Bill attended and graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida. Bill held many jobs throughout his life, but was best known for his finish carpentry. He ended his career at the Alouette Beach Resort in Old Orchard Beach, where he not only maintained the resort, but was able to showcase his carpentry skills.

And a very heart-felt thank you to Mallory for loving and caring for Bill for 21 years, especially during these last three trying years. Her love and dedication to him is greatly appreciated by the family.
