CLINTON – With sadness, the family announces the passing of William “Bill” J. Douglass Sr., 56, of Clinton. Bill was born to Della and William Douglass on May 9, 1966 and passed away at home with his loved ones by his side March 16, 2023.

Bill was a devoted husband , best friend and soul mate of 30 years to Tonya Douglass, and together they shared an amazing and wonderful life.

He was a beloved father to Billy and Amanda Douglass of Fairfield, Chrissy Douglass and Coby Foss Sr. of Clinton and Devin Douglass of Clinton and the one that became a daughter to him, Savannah Dustin.

Bill was a very special admirable “MA” to his granddaughter, Alyssa Sue Carter, who shared a special tight bond together. A fun and dedicated “Grampy” to Trinity, Darianna, Deztiney, Hayden, Coby Jr. and a special, dedicated “Grampa” to Emmett, along with the most caring “PaPa” to Kennedi Linnell.

He also leaves behind his special sister, Lori Bolduc and her husband, Dan, along with nephews Justin and Brad; his loving mother-in-law, Karen Reid of Waterville; brother-in-law, Dana and partner Jess of Fairfield, Mike and Courtney Gamblin of Windham, sister-in-law, Danielle Sullivan and husband TR of Vassalboro, and Heather Poulin and husband Adam of Troy; along with many special family members and his tight close friends that he loved dearly.

Bill was predeceased by his parents Della Rosa Douglass and William Walter Douglass and father-in-law, Dana Dodge Sr.

Bill spent his life working with all he had to build his family business “Quality Pools and Decks” in Clinton. He also spent many years with his right hand man, John Jabar Jr., employed for Castine Energy Construction.

He will be sadly missed by many and loved time spent with his family, and special friends. He enjoyed many years gathering around the table on the Whitten Road, their yearly anniversary gathering, restoring antique cars and car shows, loved tractors, fishing trips to Eustis and Jim’s Pond and always looked forward to the Clinton Fair.

He would never hesitate to take his shirt off his back to help someone in need.
