Worked in commercial real estate, loved golf
LYNNFIELD — William Twomey, 64, of Lynnfield, passed away on Thursday, Sept. 4, 2025.
He was born in Arlington on Feb. 4, 1961, and was the son of Elinor (Madigan) Twomey and the late John Twomey. Bill grew up in Belmont, where he was blessed with friendships that stood the test of time. He was a dedicated professional in commercial real estate, where he built a long and successful career marked by integrity, strong relationships and an instinct for seeing opportunity where others didn’t. After graduating from the College of the Holy Cross, he began his career as a CPA before moving into commercial real estate, where he found his true professional stride. Whether negotiating deals or mentoring younger colleagues, he brought humor, intelligence and a personal touch to everything he did.
Bill had a deep love for golf drawn to the challenge, the focus and the endless pursuit of a better game. He was fiercely competitive, always looking to shave a stroke off his score or outplay his regular group, but he never let that stop him from keeping things light. Whether it was a great shot or a frustrating one, he had a way of turning it into a moment worth laughing about. For Bill, golf was the perfect mix of skill, patience and humor, and he rarely left the course without a good story.
He was the beloved husband of Maureen (Crawford) Twomey. He was the loving father of Elizabeth Candelino and her husband Nicholas of Malta, New York; Kathleen Healy and her husband Christopher of Topsfield; and William Twomey of Lynnfield. He was the brother of Michael Twomey and his wife, Cynthia, of Andover; Patricia Twomey of Reading; and John Twomey and his wife, Susan, of Bedford. Bill is also survived by his grandson Christopher and several nieces and nephews.
