William was born August 31, 1939, in Tifton, GA, to the late Rosalie Mitchell Lassiter and William
Albert Lassiter, Sr. He graduated from Tift County High School and attended North Georgia Military
College. Upon the untimely passing of his father, he returned home to care for his mother and
attended ABAC and ultimately graduated from The University of Georgia in 1962 with a degree in
Forestry. In October, 1962, he married his hometown sweetheart and neighbor, Waldene Griffin.
A charter member of the St. Marys Golf & Country Club, William had a passion for the game. He
enjoyed countless rounds of golf with friends that brought him much joy.

After graduation with his Forestry Degree, William worked in the forestry field for the Georgia
Forestry Commission and later for Gilman Paper Company. While working for Gilman Paper William
felt the desire to go into the logging business on his own. He owned Satilla Forest Products for 25
years logging lands on Sapelo Island, South Georgia and FL, until he semi-retired in 1992. His
retirement didn't last long. Shortly after retirement he started Coastal Water Systems which he
owned for 28 years until his health ultimately forced him to retire, this time for good.

He is survived by his beloved wife of nearly 60 years, Waldene Griffin Lassiter; his children and
spouses: Al & Suzi Lassiter, of Acworth, GA, Jay & Dever Lassiter of St. Marys, Lynne & Mark Durden,
of Marietta GA; grandchildren, Will Lassiter, Maggie Lassiter, Jack Lassiter, Jonathan Lassiter, Anna
Lassiter, Caroline Durden, Griffin Durden, and Amelia Durden.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Rosemary Lassiter.

The family suggests that any remembrances be made to the Camden County Humane Society linked
here in memory of William.

Allison Memorial Chapel is in charge of arrangements.
