William A. McQueeney

William (Bill) A. McQueeney, was born on November 3, 1943. He lived an extraordinary 82 years filled with love, laughter, and meaningful connections. A devoted Catholic, Bill lived his faith through kindness and service. Everyone who knew Bill loved him. His infectious laugh, gift for storytelling, and genuine interest in learning about others made everyone feel truly seen and valued by him.

Passing peacefully on January 22, 2026, Bill was predeceased by his parents, William and Madeline McQueeney, as well as his previous in-laws, James and Joan Dunne, who he remained close with. As the son of a military father, Bill had the unique opportunity to live in many places around the world-experiences that helped shape his curiosity and deep appreciation for people from all walks of life.

Bill was a proud graduate of College of the Holy Cross, Class of 1965. After graduating, he found his true calling in sales as a result of his charismatic charm and ability to develop deep relationships with his clients who turned into lifelong friends. After many years with Sylvania, he retired and moved to Savannah, GA where he truly lived his best life for many years.

Bill's greatest accomplishments were his amazing children -Kelly Andres, Colleen Keane, and Patrick McQueeney (and cherished daughter-in-law, Tory McQueeney). Joan (Dunne) McQueeney, the mother of his three children, also remained in his life in a special way. Bill never missed an event, whether coaching from the sidelines or cheering from the stands. They were the center of his world and he never let a day go by without telling them so.

Affectionately known as "Big Bill," he often said his second greatest accomplishments were his eight grandchildren, each of whom he adored: Conor, Madeline, Abbey, Jack, Riley, Patrick, Andy, and Gus. They share countless treasured memories with Grandpa - from traveling to watch them compete in sports, trips to Savannah, high school graduations, fantasy football leagues, and unforgettable, forever cherished, family FaceTime calls. The family's shared love for the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Yankees was a bond forged for life.

Bill also leaves behind his longtime partner, Sally McMullin. His family is deeply grateful and appreciative of her companionship, love, and care over the years. His big heart extended well beyond his own family and to their friends who affectionately remember him as a second Dad.

Leaving loving impressions in all aspects of his life, Bill has numerous friends he leaves behind. From college friends, friends from his professional career, golf buddies, card groups to fellow Jaycee members, many will fondly recall their cherished memories of Bill.

He dedicated countless hours serving on the Little Silver Town Council, along with the Parks and Recreation Board. Bill volunteered for anything available for the youth programs of Little Silver, where he dedicated hours, with coaching and mentoring young people throughout the community. Throughout his life, he was charitable and cherished his time spent during many holidays serving the less privileged and providing for anyone who might be in need.

Bill was truly one of a kind who will forever be fondly and deeply in the hearts of many.

May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again. May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
