Billy grew up with his younger sister, Maryanne Farley, in the Bronx and Queens boroughs of New York City. After serving in the Army, he graduated Seton Hall College and worked briefly selling insurance in Bayside, NY. Bill then moved his family to Syosset and opened the Hitching Post Bar in Huntington, NY. He served his community as a coach and friend to many. He then opened the Peoples Pub in Elwood, NY, where he worked into his sixties.

Bill deeply loved his children and grandchildren. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather (babysitter), and friend. Bill was a guiding light, fiercely loyal, and a lot of fun. Bill and Linda retired to The Mainlands of Tamarac, FL in 2012. After a long battle, Bill passed at the Hospice of Holy Cross Hospital. His family awaits a time that we can come together and celebrate the life of a wonderful man.
