William's pride and joy were his grandchildren, Michael (Cait), Christina (Kyle), Alec (Katherine), Elizabeth (Jim), and Katherine, who lit up his life with their achievements. His great-grandsons, Cole and Shane Dakin, added an extra sparkle to his later years.
He was predeceased by his parents, John and Loretta McGreevy and siblings Christine Speckenbach, Jack McGreevy, and Mary McGreevy.
Family was paramount to William, the core of his existence and his role as a husband, father and grandfather was where he found his greatest joy and fulfillment.
