William Patterson
LACONIA -William Cox Patterson, 79, of 11 Pine Brook Lane, died
Monday June 21, 2004, after a brief illness. Mr. Patterson was
born Sept. 22, 1924, in St. Davids, Pa., the son of Thomas M.
and Emma (Cox) Patterson. After returning from European combat
in World War II he graduated from the College of Environmental
Science and Forestry at Syracuse University. He was named the
Outstanding Senior of the Class of 1951. He became the first
professional forester of the Ward Lumber Co. of Jay, N.Y., and
later its general manager. He was responsible for planting millions
of white pine seedlings in the Adirondacks and recognized for
establishing 10 of the first Tree Farms in New York state. He
came to the Lakes Region in 1959 to manage the Laconia Milling
Co. in Lakeport. He later built and managed the Grossman retail
operations on that site. Mr. Patterson went on to become a vice
president and director of Prescott Lumber Co. of Meredith. When
Prescott later merged with the Gerrity Lumber Co., he was named
a vice president of their operations. After retiring from the
Gerrity companies, he represented the McQuesten Lumber Co. interests
in Northern New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. He had been an
officer or director of numerous professional, trade and civic
organizations, including 40 years in the Laconia Kiwanis Club.
He was a long-time member of the Laconia Congregational Church.
He was a registered professional forester and a licensed broker.
He made numerous trips to Washington on behalf of the New Hampshire
Retail Lumbermen's Association to confer with members of Congress
on industry and environmental matters and was named 1992 Lumber
Person of the Year for devoted outstanding service to the lumber
industry, the environment and his community. Bill, with his wife,
Marion, was an avid Nordic skier and mountain climber and enjoyed
their summer camp with their family on Lake Winnipesaukee. Survivors
include his wife of 53 years, Marion (Wells) Patterson; three
daughters, Janice Locke of Merrimack, Marcia Patterson of Scottsdale,
Ariz., and Judith Wing of Milford; a granddaughter, Molly C.
Wing of Milford; numerous nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews.
He was predeceased by three brothers, Thomas Magill Patterson
Jr., John Brisbain Patterson, Frank Karnes Patterson; and two
sisters, Mary Patterson Yerkes and Harriett Patterson Ultes.
There will be no calling hours. A memorial service will be held
on Friday, June 25, 2004 at 2 p.m. at the Laconia Congregational
Church, Veterans Square, Laconia. The Rev. Carolyn H. Keilig,
interim associate pastor of the church, will officiate. Private
burial will be in the family lot in Oakland Cemetery, Meredith.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Society
for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, 54 Portsmouth Ave.,
Concord, NH 03301. Wilkinson-Beane Funeral Home & Cremation
Services, 164 Pleasant St., Laconia, is in charge of the arrangements.

Goodbye, Bill
Members wishing to pay their respects to Sr. Member Bill Patterson
should plan on meeting between the Congregational Church and
parish building at 1:45p, Friday, June 25.
Win a Classic!
Thanx to those who worked the Weirs Boardwalk on Motorcycle Week:
Michael Bastraw, Phil Bonafide, Jackie Bonafide, Dianne Roberts,
Paul Cotton, Paul Normandin, Paul Cotton, Nancy Williams, Larry
Murphy, Russ Beane, Jeff Stone, Warren Mitchell, Chet Cilley,
Ed Chertok, Don Nelson, Sue Nelson, Howard Bacon, Ed Merski,
Dennis Denoncourt, Roger Ballantyne, Steve Loughlin, Carroll
Stafford, Sandy Stafford, Roger Webster, Jim Fortier, Arlene
Fortier, and Joe Collie. The winning ticket was drawn at 3:10p,
Sunday, June 20, by Sheriff Dan Collis--who also took time to
sell a few tickets before the fact. Chair Paul Cotton contacted
winner William Morgan's wife who advised that he was away on
a fishing trip but would let him know about his new wheels. The
support of Deb Cotton (ticket cost), Thurston's Marine (parking),
Joe Adrignola (parking), Veterans' Association (parking), and
the exhibitors who let us set-up at their shows for free should
be noted. Pres.-Elect Paul Cotton's on-going contributions to
this fundraiser should not be underestimated. This issue will
feature some of the photos from Steve Loughlin and others from
the event. More will follow in future issues.
Heil and farewell
