William G. Hawe Jr.

Salisbury, MA- William George Hawe Jr., 75, of Salisbury, MA passed away peacefully in his sleep the morning of April 24, 2023, while at home in the company of his daughters. William was born on January 13, 1948, in Everett, MA, to Edna F. (Ross) and William G. Hawe. William was a graduate of Cathedral High School in Dorchester, MA, in 1965 and Wentworth Institute of Technology in 1967 with a degree in Machine Process Technology. His career in engineering spanned 50 years holding various positions at MIT, Brooker Lab, EG&G and completing his career at Excelitas (formerly Perkin Elmer). His unique experience allowed him to work in a consulting position upon his retirement, and he would also happily “consult” often about his extensive engineering knowledge and previous experiences, with anyone that would lend an ear. William is survived by his children: son William Motroni of Tewksbury, MA, along with his wife Nicole and children Molli and Tyler; daughter Katherine Goscinski of Costa Mesa, CA, and her husband Andrew; and daughter Maureen Hawe of Salisbury, MA. He is also survived by his longtime significant other Maureen Shea of Amesbury, MA. William is also survived by his sister, Maureen Jordan-Salvetti of Marshfield, MA, and her three sons Hal, Christopher, and Jonathan and their families. William was very selective but the things he loved, he loved fiercely. He very much enjoyed boating on the Merrimac River, cruising down the beach on his Harley, and simply loving where he lived, enjoying the peace and quiet living in his home on a cul-de-sac overlooking the backyard panoramic marsh views. He was most “himself” at home, either peacefully alone or enjoying the company of Shea, or other family and friends visiting, while sharing a cocktail in the afternoon sun on the back deck, sunporch, or living room. A visitation followed by a memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 29, 2023 from 12pm-2pm at Remick & Gendron Funeral Home- Crematory, Hampton, NH. Family and friends are invited after the services to come and share fond memories and stories of him, over a Crown Royal & Ginger Ale and in whatever attire you’re comfortable in, especially if that includes “dungarees.” In lieu of flowers please make donations in William’s name to The Pettengill House of Salisbury, MA. by clicking here. William is well known for his one-liners… in this case, we chose to recall his boat’s name Already Gone… and most fondly… “We Love You, Always and Forever, No Matter What.”
