Wallace Jr., 89, passed away on June 25th, 2017, surrounded by his family.Bill grew up in a tenement house on Newbury Street in Boston, MA, back when you walked to get where you were going, or took a trolley; when a nickel bought you a chocolate bar, a train ride, and a ticket to the movies. (They were called “talking pictures” then.) In 1941, Bill was at a Bruins Hockey game with his father when play was suddenly stopped to announce that the Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor.

Bill was a member of the Auburn Board of Health for 13 years (Chairman for 12 years) and was appointed by Governor Edward King to serve on the Hazardous Waste Site Safety Committee and the Town of Auburn Solid Waste Advisory Committee. He was a former Town Meeting Member, Past President of the Auburn District Nursing Association, and Past President a...
