Date of Funeral

June 17, 2022

Dr. William J. Spitz, (Yaakov) of Norwell, formerly of Weymouth, passed away peacefully on June 14th surrounded by his loving family at the age of 75.

Dr. Spitz was a highly respected dentist in Marshfield Hills for many decades.  He attended Boston College High School, Stonehill College and Georgetown University School of Dentistry.

Billy loved his profession as a dentist, frequently mentioning that he truly enjoyed his patients. He volunteered his services at an Israeli clinic through Dental Volunteers of Israel. Billy loved traveling to Aruba, Israel and around the US with his family, summers at Humarock, Harwichport, Nantasket, and playing sports, primarily golf, with his family. His most joyful times were cheering on his children at sporting events. Billy’s biggest accomplishment was his children.

Yaakov was a faithful member of Chabad Cape Cod, a devoted student of the Torah, and a strong supporter of Israel and the Jewish people.

He will be deeply missed.

Devoted son of William and Rosalie (Brouillard) Spitz. Beloved husband of 53 years to Mary (Hamilton) Spitz.  Loving father of Brian and his wife Elizabeth of Weymouth, Karen and her partner Thomas of Hull, David and his wife Rita of Weymouth, Benjamin and his wife Kaitlin of Milton. Cherished Papa of Hannah, Audrey, Charlotte, Sophia, Lily, Luke and Camila. Dear brother of Stephen and his wife Christine of Falmouth, Kevin and his wife Rebecca of Marshfield, Joseph and his wife Elaine of Braintree, David and his wife Karyn of Rhode Island, Kurt and his wife Patricia of Hull. Along with many nieces and nephews. Dear friend of Yosef and Yael Ellis, Rick and Lynne Rose, Tim and Didi Connerty, Daniel Ezra Morris, Rabbi and Mrs. Chaim Richman, and the Cape Cod Chabad community.

    I just heard the sad news of Dr Spitz’s passing. Dr Spitz took great care of my family for many, many years – particularly my mother. I will always remember the special attention he gave my mother – even designing her dentures with her signature “Hurley split”! I even enjoyed my visits to his office (who can say they enjoy going to the dentist?). There were always a lot of laughs and great stories shared. He was truly a great guy.

    My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.

    My heartfelt condolences to you, Mary, and your family. For reasons unknown to me, I was thinking of you just last night with fond memories of our friendship when we lived in Scituate and decided to look you up today, only to discover Bill’s passing just two days ago. I am thankful to God for timing of those memories. Keeping you in my prayers.
