Bill, known to family and friends as “Buzzy,” was retired from the New Canaan Highway Department. He also served as a volunteer fire fighter for the New Canaan Fire Company. He had a love of sports, especially rooting for the local NY teams. As many can attest, he had quite the green thumb & proudly shared his vegetables with friends & family. Bill will always be remembered for his kindness and friendly nature. With a genuine smile and a good-hearted chuckle, he was a friend to everyone who knew him. He will be dearly missed.
Bill was predeceased by his loving and devoted wife, Linnea Wood and his brother Cecil Cogswell, both of New Canaan. He is survived by many nieces & nephews.
