William G. Proctor, 90, died peacefully early Tues. morning, May 30, 2006 surrounded by his loving daughters. Bill was born Mar. 4, 1916 in Waterville the son of Elva (Larrabee) and John Proctor.
He was educated in the Waterville schools. In 1940 he married the love of his life, Arlene Lessard.

In 1947 he opened his own Texaco station on North Street that he built and named ''Proctor's Super Service Station''. As his business expanded he sold used cars and then acquired the AMC and Land Rover dealerships. He had the second Land Rover dealership in the State of Maine. He had many commercial plowing accounts in Waterville and maintained equipment for Colby College and Harris Bakery. He was also a deputy sheriff in Kennebec county for many years.

They also loved sailing along the coast of Maine in their boat, ''The Skat''.
Bill was predeceased by his wife and son, William Jr.; his parents; four siblings, Kenneth, Mark, Francis, and Lottie.
