William Charles Cole III

Born in Syracuse, N.Y., Bill was a graduate of West Genesee High School. With Central New York roots, Bill moved to Canton, CT and Ludlow, VT to be close to his grandchildren.

Bill was a fun-loving guy who has been described as a dedicated family man, a talented handyman, a devoted employee, the resident comedian, a curmudgeon, a great coach, a talented athlete (in his younger years), a pretty good bowler and a benevolent caregiver.

Bill is survived by his wife of 50 years, Janice (Tomeny), his daughters and their families Jill, Todd, Jack and Ryan Webb; Joy, Richard, Cole, Carson and Chase Schuyler, his siblings Cynthia (David) Mott, Robert (Janet) Cole, 6 Nieces and 5 Nephews, several great nieces and nephews, his Aunt Jeanette (Ben) Whitmore and many wonderful cousins.
