WEST BETHEL — George “Reggie” Westleigh Jr., 75, passed away Monday, Sept. 24, at his home, with his loving family by his side.

He was born at home on the Flat Road in West Bethel to George and Madeline Westleigh on March 6, 1937. He worked at Newton and Tebbets for 39 years as a machinist, but he had so many more talents, including making wooden nickels and tinkering on multiple projects. There was not a job that he could not tackle.

He also enjoyed buying and restoring old cars working in his shop, going to the Fryeburg Fair every October and he especially loved spending time with his family and making them laugh with his wonderful sense of humor. He also loved it when his grandson, Austin would go fishing and bring him all his catch to eat. He had a special relationship with his grandchildren and they all loved going to see Grampa!

He leaves behind his loving wife of 45 years, Linda; son, Joe and wife, Melissa, of Woolwich; daughter, Debra L. Betz, RN, and husband, Jack, of New York; daughter, Theresa Westleigh of Maryland; daughter, Lisa Pivot and husband, Paul, of Topsham; son, James of New Hampshire; sister, Flossie Walker of West Bethel; brother, Rodney Westleigh of Greenwood; eight grandchildren, Wednesday, Nicole, Peter J. Seames IV, Misty, Laura, Annie, Ashley and Austin; 14 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild due in February.

He was predeceased by his parents; and his brother, Linwood.
