Cahill, William "Liam" WATERFORD William "Liam" Cahill, 72 of Waterford, entered into eternal rest on May 6, 2022, in Boston after a long battle with cancer. Liam was born on May 13, 1949, in Knockanes, Carron, County Clare, Ireland.

He is survived by his wife, Molly Cahill; daughter, Bridget (Ricky) Thumar; and sister Kay Noonan. Liam has many nieces and nephews in the U.S. and Ireland. While deeply proud of his Irish ancestry, Liam was equally proud of attaining his U.S. citizenship in 1998. Liam was a very successful entrepreneur, both in Ireland and the U.S. In Ireland, he operated a private tour company - Liam Cahill Tours of Ireland. Fodor's Guide to Ireland listed him as the best private tour guide in Ireland. In the U.S., he owned and operated Odorite of New York for over 30 years, servicing many businesses in the Capital District and forging lifelong friendships. Liam lived life to the fullest and was a social butterfly. He had an infectious laugh and sense of humor and could always find a way to make you smile. He loved his wife and daughter more than anything in this world. His family is comforted by the outpouring of support from all of the friends and special people in his life, both near and far. He will be incredibly missed by all. Family and friends are invited to visit on Friday, May 13, from 4-7 p.m. at the Philip J. Brendese Funeral Home, 133 Broad St. (Route 32), Waterford.
