OBITUARY - Pascoag Commissioner William A. Mageau

William A. "Min" Mageau, 75, of Centennial St., Pascoag, died May 28 at Landmark Medical Center. He was the loving husband of Patricia J. (Bowie) Mageau. They were married Nov. 17, 1956.

Born in Woonsocket, he was a son of the late William E. and Mary Jane (Aubuchon) Mageau and was a lifelong resident of Pascoag.

Mageau was employed as a lineman for the Pascoag Utility District for more than 38 years. After his retirement, he was elected to the Board of Utility Commissioners and was serving the community in that capacity until his death. He also served as a volunteer Pascoag firefighter for more than 20 years and retired with the rank of Lieutenant.

He was a passionate hockey fan. His love of the sport, whether as a participant or spectator, lasted throughout his life. Recent years found him as a proud member of the "Old-Timers, Has-Been & Never Was" team, a group of local gentlemen coming together to play and share their enthusiasm for hockey.

In addition to his wife of 53 years, he is survived by several nieces and nephews and their families, his extended family including many cousins and many friends in the community.
