William Coughlin Obituary
William “Little Bill” Coughlin died unexpectedly on Sunday, October 2, 2022, due to injuries sustained in an accident.

To some, he was their favorite supervisor.

I only knew Bill for a few years, but immediately upon meeting him Tim and I knew he was an extremely kind and helpful human being. Those qualities are hard to find now, and even more so right now.
I will never ever be able to put into the words I want to say regarding Bills accident and injuries. It has brought up things I've tried to first bury, and let go of for the past 25 years. And I know in my soul that I will feel the same feelings regarding Bills accident as I still do my own personal tragedy. There isn't anything that another person could ever say to change this fact either. My head knows, but my soul and my heart have completely different outlooks to it all and always will.
I am so terribly sorry for your loss, and having to meet for the first time some of Bills siblings under these conditions.
Bill will forever be in our hearts and never ever forgotten.
