William

Daley

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of William Daley, aged 87, who departed this life peacefully on Monday, March 24, 2025, with his beloved family by his side. A cherished father, grandfather, and friend, William, leaves behind a legacy characterized by his intellect, dedication, and compassionate spirit.
William was born on November 10, 1937, in Chelsea, Massachusetts, to the late Carroll A. and Helen (Iverson) Daley. He was one of three siblings and demonstrated an early passion for learning, which led him to pursue and obtain a PhD in epidemiology from Yale University after attending B.C. High School and Boston College. His professional career flourished as he served as a Vice President at Blue Shield, where he made significant contributions in the field of healthcare.
A devoted father, William settled in Revere, Massachusetts, where he raised three sons.  Throughout his life, he instilled in them the values of hard work and perseverance. After retiring, he embraced a new chapter in his life, relocating to Weirs Beach, New Hampshire, where he enjoyed the tranquility of nature for the past 25 years.
William's passions extended beyond his professional achievements. He relished in the challenge of solving math problems and was an avid crossword puzzle enthusiast. He maintained an active lifestyle well into his 70s, enjoying weightlifting and bodybuilding, which reflected his commitment to health and well-being.
In addition to his parents, William was also predeceased by siblings, Kathleen Brienzi, and Carroll A. "Gus" Daley.
William is lovingly survived by his sons William M. Daley and his wife Lynne of Groveland, MA, Christian S. Daley of Seminole, FL, and Timothy A. Daley and his wife Tricia of Bedford, MA.  He also leaves his six cherished grandchildren Kristen, Julia, Ryan, and Michelle Daley of Groveland and Liam and Emmett Daley of Bedford.

Services and Interment will be private.
