He was the brother of James, Thomas, Robert (Terri), Patricia Plunkett and Margaret (Jack) McNulty and the brother-in-law of Irene Plunkett. Also survived by many nieces and nephews. William was predeceased by his siblings, Theresa Jewett, Elizabeth, Agnes, George Jr., Jack and Charles Plunkett. Funeral services will be held on Wednesday at 8:45 a.m. from the Wm. Leahy Funeral Home, 336 3rd St., Troy and at 9:30 a.m. in St. Michael the Archangel Church, Williams Rd., Troy, where a Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated.

Dear Bob and Terri, Patsy, Margie and Punkett family,

It has been awhile since the Andersen/Plunkett family journey began with our parents.

Our journey continued at St Joseph's and CCHS and even after all these years we are still connected through Chris and Jaclyn. I am always saddened when one more link to our South Troy heritage is lost.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.
