William Joseph Massey

  William “Bill” Massey, long time Fullerton resident, passed away to be with his Beautiful Rosette at the age of 90. He was born in Huntington Woods Michigan, in 1927. He received his Business Degree from Michigan State University in 1950. He met the Love of his Life, Rose Marie “Rosette” LaFlamme, and they married in 1951. They shared 66 Wonderful years together, a love story like no other, before Rosette passed away in January 2018. They raised 8 children: Denise, Maureen, Renee, David, Michael, Craig, Brian and Bonita and had 10 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. Bill is survived by his sister, Donna Angeli and brother, Jack Massey. Bill Massey was not only a man of strong faith, but of integrity and character, such a wonderful example to everyone who knew him. He was always ready to serve his family and others. This was reflected in his continued contributions to the Church community as he counseled inmates in the county facilities, worked as a mediator and counselor in the court system, and was the voice of reason to his children and many of their friends. Bill had a true passion for golf, playing in his final days. He had a graceful swing, and felt his youngest, still hitting them straight, even at 90 years old! Everyone appreciated his wonderful sense of humor and wit! He also had quite a mischievous nature bringing out the infectious boyishness we all loved. His children were blessed beyond measure, to call him their father. Everyone who knew him will miss Bill Massey dearly. We find peace that he has joined his love, Rosette, and oldest son, David in Heaven, giving David a breather for our active mother’s busy schedule.
