William J. “Bill” Harford Jr., 61, passed away in his home on October 27, 2016 after a short battle with melanoma. He was accompanied by his loving family.
Words cannot do justice to the depth of respect, admiration and love he garnered during his lifetime. His colleagues, friends, family and children agree the world lost a special individual. Bill was a deeply loyal friend, brother and uncle, a dedicated coach, and a mentor to many. Most importantly, though, he was an amazing father to his children, Will and Kathleen, to whom he imparted his unwavering sense of family, incredible integrity and work ethic, love of sports, and sly sense of humor.
He is lovingly survived by his two children, William J. Harford III, Kathleen M. Harford, and longtime girlfriend Liz Nardini. Bill is also survived by his sister, Jean (Eduardo) Cortes, and brother, Robert (Janet) Harford; and his beloved nieces and nephews.
