William L. Maher, 78, beloved husband of Maureen (Gerathy) Maher of Trumbull, passed away Wednesday August 3rd, 2022 at Bridgeport Hospital.

William, known to family and friends as Bill, was born to parents Verna and Leo Maher in Rochester, New York on March 15, 1944. He later moved with his parents and four brothers to Miami, Florida, where he graduated high school.

Bill had a love of music that began at a young age. After his time serving in the U.S. Army in Vicenza, Italy, he continued to travel throughout Europe, working as a musician. After returning to the United States, Bill continued playing music, met and married his wife Maureen, and they traveled throughout the country, eventually settling in Trumbull.

Bill worked for the State of Connecticut for 29 years, and retired as a permit inspector, allowing him more time to pursue his love of golf (he was a four handicap!) In addition to golf, Bill enjoyed spending time with his family, watching UConn basketball, and spoiling his granddogs.

In addition to Maureen, his beloved wife of 50 years, Bill leaves behind two loving daughters and their husbands, Christine and Jason Roberts of Hingham, MA, and Traci and David Galla of Trumbull, CT; a brother, Thomas Maher of Asheville, NC; a sister-in-law, Connie Maher of Banner Elk, NC; four cherished grandchildren, Macey, Aaron, Cole and Sean; and many nieces and nephews. Bob was predeceased by three of his brothers, James, Robert and Fred.
