William Patrick O'Toole

William P. O’Toole, 76, passed away suddenly at Memorial Hermann Hospital in The Woodlands, Texas on February 11, 2016. He was born in Springfield, Massachusetts on February 5, 1940, the son of the late Patrick H. & Josephine O’Toole (Grebla). “Billy” was raised in Chicopee, Massachusetts, before moving to Belchertown, where he raised his family. He then moved to Conroe, Texas where he has lived for the past 30 years. His lifelong passion for cars led him to his career in auto body repair as a body man and professional painter, eventually owning his own business. Bill was an avid gardener, enjoyed deep sea fishing, going to flea markets, car shows, doing small engine repair, and just hanging out with his many friends. Besides his parents, he is predeceased by his brother, Larry O’Toole. He leaves behind his brother, Patrick O’Toole and his wife, Nancy of Florida; his sister, Rosemary Hunt (O’Toole) of Arizona; and his sister-in-law, Judith O’Toole of Florida. He will be deeply missed by his three daughters, Diane McDonald and her husband, Michael of Belchertown; Deborah O’Toole of Chicopee; Karen Saltarelli and her husband, Ron of Granby; along with five grandchildren, Jason, Tiffany, Justin, Desiree and Brittany. He also leaves several nieces, nephews, cousins, and lots of great friends (many of whom were like family). A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, March 12th, at St. Rose De Lima Cemetery, 49 Olsen Street, Chicopee.
