William Murray Good II
October 24, 1964 – September 10, 2025
William Murray Good, 60 years old, passed away peacefully on September 10, 2025, surrounded by his family and dear friends. Known to many as Bill, he grew up in Waterbury, Connecticut, the son of Marilyn McKenna Good and the late Dr. Philip S. Good.
Bill is survived by his sister, Kathleen C. Good of Providence, RI; his brother, Philip T. Good, and sister-in-law, Kelly Good of Warren, CT; and his beloved nephews, Jack and Quinn Good.
He attended Holy Cross High School, in Waterbury, and went on to study at Columbia University before graduating from Fairfield University with a degree in Social Work. Bill was a social worker for the Connecticut Public Defender's Office, in Stamford. Bill touched so many lives with his great sense of humor, wisdom, and courage.
In addition to social work, Bill was a passionate collector and dealer of antique books-a pursuit that reflected his deep love of literature and learning. His family is especially grateful to Mrs. Mary Cady, his English teacher at Holy Cross High School, who recognized and nurtured that love early on. A memorial scholarship in his honor is forthcoming
