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.

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.
