It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of William "Bill" A. Mont, a beloved son, husband, father, and brother, who departed this life on December 24, 2025, at the age of 65. Born in Worcester, MA, Bill spent his formative years in Springfield, where he cultivated his passions and developed a keen sense of humor that delighted those around him. Bill proudly attained two associate degrees and built a successful career as a Maintenance Technician, working for various companies, including KidderPress and Coca-Cola, before retiring in 2022. His work not only included local contributions but took him around the world, allowing him to build connections and friendships that would last a lifetime. He established his home in Belchertown 25 years ago, where he shared a wonderful life with his wife, Diane, whom he adored. They celebrated 25 years of marriage filled with laughter, love, and memorable moments, including their cherished tradition of hiking every anniversary and enjoying peaceful evenings together by the fire. Bill was known for his great sense of humor and his ability to light up a room with his goofy antics. He was also a talented artist and musician, having taken art classes at UMass and played bass guitar in several bands, most notably the group "The Memories" for a decade. Music brought him joy, and he often enjoyed it with Diane in their backyard.   Bill also enjoyed watching football and hockey with his wife and cherished the annual winter vacations in VT with Diane, Tommy, Ashley, Kyle, and in-laws, Debbie and Pete Oyer and nephew, Kyle.  They made memories filled with laughter, skiing and time together.  Bill leaves behind a loving family, his mother, Eileen Santer, his wife, Diane (Williams) Mont, their son, Thomas Mont, stepson David Burnham, and his wife, Danielle as well as stepdaughter, Ashley Burnham and her longtime significant other, Kyle Ray.  Bill's memory will also be forever cherished by his brother, George Mont and his wife, Lois, sister Susan Ciantra and her husband, Nick, as well as his step-grandchildren Cameron and Kylee Burnham. His niece, Emily and nephew, Charlie Ciantra along with brother-in-law, James Lemarier, sister-in-law, Debbie Oyer (Pete), brother-in-laws, David Williams, Jimmy Williams (Kim) and many other nieces and nephews will also fondly remember him.  He was preceded in death by his father George Mont, stepfather Owen Santer, sister, Jennifer Lemarier and brother-in-law, Bob Williams.  Visitation will be held on Tuesday, January 6, from 2-4 PM at the Beers & Story Belchertown Funeral Home, followed by a service to begin at 4 PM. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Shriner's Hospital or the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Bill's memory, honoring his spirit of kindness and generosity.
