William K. Dustin, 84
MEREDITH — William K. Dustin, son of Clifton H. and Ruth
(Pulsifer) Dustin, executed his final approach on Nov. 16, 2016, at Forestview
Manor in Meredith, at the age of 84.
Bill was a native Granite Head, spending his early years in
Dover, and graduating from Goffstown High School. After graduating from the
University of New Hampshire in 1954, he served three years in the Air Force,
flying for the Military Air Transport Service out of Dover, Delaware. He went on
to work for Delta Airlines, where he operated heavy equipment, retiring in 1992
after 34 years.
He and his wife, Anne, made their home in Hampton during his
working years, where they raised five children. They moved to Laconia after
retirement.
Bill was an avid Boston sports fan, following the Celtics, Red
Sox and Patriots. He enjoyed fishing, fly-tying and boating on Lake
Winnisquam.
Survivors include his wife of 58 years, Anne; son John (Lanie)
of Oamaru, New Zealand; daughters Nancy Phillips of Salem, New York, Donna (Rob)
Williams of Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, and Debra (Dan) Fuller of Rupert, Vermont;
three grandchildren, Tim, Ben and Jamie Phillips of Salem, New York; and Dennis
Whitcher, who was like a son to Bill.
He was predeceased by his oldest son, James William, in
2012.
The family wishes to thank the caring staff at Forestview
Manor, most especially, his buddy, Jen, for the kind and compassionate care he
received during the past year.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the James Dustin Memorial
Scholarship at the Maine College of Art, 522 Congress St., Portland, Maine 04101
would be appreciated.
In keeping with Bill's wishes, no services are
planned.
