William "Bill" McLaughlin Jr.

Bill was one of my best friends we both lived in Benton. I lost contact when we both moved away. I was trying to contact him, realized he passed away. So wonderful to read how great a person he became. Sorry I didn't get to know him in later years. We had many great memories living in Benton.

The McLaughlin Family

I was saddened to hear the news of the passing of Mr. Bill. He was my soccer coach and mentor for many years growing up playing soccer with the West Shore Soccer Club and at Cedar Cliff HS.
Although often demanding it helped me become a better player and more importantly a better person.
His legacy continues as I am now a high school teacher and coach in Maryland. Ive been coaching Boys and Girls soccer at my high school for many years.

Karen and McLaughlin Family,

Bill was a wonderful man and he enjoyed life. Many fond memories on Beech Island. Your in our thoughts and prayers. May he rest in peace.



Sincerely,
Ken & Beth Garland

Karen,
We are thinking about you and your family during this really sad time. I am glad your kids are all here now. We are really sorry for your loss. We know Bill was an incredible person - sweet, kind and selfless (you are too Karen). If you need anything - just let us know.

Love to all,
Gina Sutliff and Family

Bill, Karen, and their children were true river rats. Our family has so many fond memories of Bill on the Susquehanna River. With his many talents he did indeed throw a mean shoe with his foot. We will all miss his wonderful sense of humor and the sweetheart he was. We share your sadness Karen and family - please know you are all in our hearts and prayers. The Harmon Family

Karen although you may not remember me I knew you and the McLaughlin family well from Bethany Village days. Especially Barb and Mom. We did attend your wedding but have lost contact over the years.
Please know you plus all the McLaughlin's Linda and Joey et all are in our thoughts and prayers.
