William P. Dermody, of Washington, New Jersey, passed away peacefully at his home on January 21, 2026, surrounded by his loving family. He was 75.

Born on May 30, 1950, in Elizabeth, New Jersey, William was the son of the late William A. Dermody and Doris Dermody (née Michalek). He was a graduate of Bridgewater High School and was widely known as a true jack-of-all-trades.

He proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War.

William is survived by his devoted wife, Jacqueline Dermody; his sons, Patrick Dermody and his wife Amy, Tim Dermody and his wife Beth, Jason Dermody, and Chris Dermody; and his daughter, Jamie Graba. He is also survived by his brother, Tom Dermody.
