Wilfred M. "Bill" Pye

Wilfred M. “Bill” Pye, 89, of Oak Point in Middleboro, MA, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on February 22, 2025. Born on October 17, 1935, to the late Albert Holbrook Pye, Sr. and Jessie Marshall Pye. Bill grew up in Stoughton, married his wife, the late Nancy J. (Sullivan) Pye, in 1955 and raised their family in Brockton.

Adoring grandfather of 9 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. 

Bill retired from the Teamsters Union after nearly 30 years. He drove trucks across the country for many of those years, served as Shop Steward, and later transitioned from truck to warehouse when he joined Casey & Hayes Moving and Storage in Boston as their Warehouse Manager.

Bill’s greatest pride and joy aside from the love and devotion of his family, was his love of and service to God and his community.
