William (Bill) Thayer, 61, passed away peacefully Thursday August 15, 2013 at Faxton-St. Luke's Healthcare.
He was born in Rome on May 23, 1952, the son of the late Oliver Thayer and Mildred (Smith) Thayer-Ulmer. On November 28, 1970, he was united in marriage with Mary King, a blessed union of almost 43 years. He was employed by the Oriskany Central School District for 31 years.
His passions were classic cars, building model cars and "tinkering" in the garage. After his retirement in 2008, he enjoyed his daily lunches at the Oriskany Diner with his buddies "at the round table." His favorite pastime was spending time with his family, especially his children and grandchildren, including family vacations, cookouts, trivia nights and holidays.
