Visitation, Service for William Andrew Haughey

William Andrew Haughey, (Bill, Dad, Uncle Bill, Mr. H, Billy Balls, Huggy Haughey, Yoda), a long-time resident of Putnam Valley, passed on June 20, 2016. He was 66 years old.

Bill’s optimism and love of life was so contagious that everyone he touched was drawn to him. Bill was forever encouraging and inspiring all of us to grow and to be the best that we could be. He was an amazing husband, father, son, brother, uncle, mentor, teacher, best friend, buddy, counselor, but wait, Bill was so much more.

Bill was a natural born leader, a stationary engineer, a self-taught carpenter, electrician and plumber, a Master Mason of Lodge 1154 of Yorktown, a top-notch SCUBA dive instructor, Captain, chef and an all-around amazing person. Bill’s passion and enthusiasm for life exuded out of him like beautiful rays of sun. Bill was always available when needed and would lend a helping hand without even being asked. He was a very intuitive old soul. Bill will be remembered for his impassioned love of life, family, friends, camping, summers in Seaside Heights, summers at the Galleon in Key West, his many adventurous SCUBA diving trips all across the globe, hunting trips to Marty’s, Eddie’s and Duffy’s places and so many other adventures too numerous to list here.
