It is with profound sadness that the family announces the passing of William J. O’Brien after a lengthy illness.
Bill was born and raised in Jackson Heights, NY where he attended All Hollows High School. He later graduated from Iona College before entering a long and successful career in Sales. Bill raised his family in Manhasset and Westhampton Beach before retiring to Jupiter, Florida.
The consummate gentleman, Bill was loved by all who knew him, in both his work and personal life. He enjoyed golf and tennis and spending time with his friends. But most important to him was family and he especially cherished every moment spent with his grandchildren.
His memory will be kept alive by his loving wife of 61 years, Marie and their children Eileen (John), Kerri (Ralph), Maureen, Billy (Colleen) and John, his sister Kathleen and his ten adoring grandchildren Meghan, Tara, Emily, Sarah, Claire, Jack, Liam, Maeve, Malachy and Emmett.
His family would like to thank everyone for their outpouring of prayers and support.
A funeral mass for Bill will be held Saturday, November 13, 2021 at 10:00 AM at St Patrick's Catholic Church, 13591 Prosperity Farms Rd, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33410.
Memorial services will also be held on Long Island at a later date.
