Prior to retiring several years ago, Bill was employed for 38 years with Pratt & Whitney Aircraft. He was a dedicated and loving, husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.

He leaves behind his dear friend and companion, Evelyn Shaughnessy, who was always kind, caring and had a special place in his heart. The O'Regan family is forever grateful for his wonderful neighbors. He was predeceased by a brother, Bobby O'Regan; and sister, Catherine Gallant.
