Waterbury- Mr. William M. "Papa Bear" Legge, passed away on  Wednesday, February 29, at St. Mary's Hospital. He was the husband of Christine (LeBel) Legge and the son of the late William A. Legge and Lucy (D'Amico) Legge.

In addition to his wife of 22 years he is survived by his daughter, Kelly Sheldon and her husband Tim of Waterbury; his three step-sons Robert, Daniel and Jason; his brother Tom Legge and his wife Rose of Waterbury and several cousins.
