William ‘Bill’ O’Brien of Woodstock passed away Sunday, July 14th, 2024.

Bill was born on December 7, 1953, to William and Catherine O’Brien in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Bill was an amazing man. He was a loving husband and father. He was married to the love of his life, Donna, for almost 30 years. Spending time with his family was one of his great joys in life. He enjoyed coaching his son’s softball team and was an all-around wonderful family man.

Bill was a natural engineer; he loved to tinker and build. He was able to take scraps and random bits and see something new and complete. He had a passion for computers, often he could be found working on his own. He loved UFO’s and aliens. He found the idea of life beyond our world fascinating.

Bill was strong, he was a fighter. He was determined to outlast the doctors’ prognosis; and he did.

He was loved and will be greatly missed by the many people in his life.
