William H. Fryar Jr. of Quincy passed peacefully  on Friday, September 25, 2015 at age 76, after battling pancreatic cancer courageously for 3 1/2 years. The beloved husband of Marjorie (Smith) Fryar to whom he was married for 54 years,  Bill was the loving father of Michael Fryar and his fiancée Katie McCarthy of Quincy, Lisa Fryar Comerford and her husband Dave Comerford of Quincy and the late William Fryar III and Sharon Fryar. He is also survived by  his grandchildren Meghan and Eryn McCarthy, his cousin Sheila Pitts, his close friend T.J Clarke and of course his “grandpup” Brady. An iron worker who welded the Hancock and Prudential buildings to the top, Bill was also a welder for the city of Quincy until an injury forced him to retire. He was a devoted caretaker to Marjorie and enjoyed walking his Siberian Husky Brady, riding his Harley Davidson, plowing snow, boating, trips to Foxwoods and was a member of the Quincy Yacht Club.
