Deceased Name: William Dahill
William "Bill" Breen Dahill died peacefully at Connecticut Hospice on March 6, 2014, after complications from a surgery two weeks earlier. Bill was born January 20, 1936, in Worcester, MA. He grew up in Hartford, then Hamden, listening to opera played in the house by his mother, Bride. He was the youngest of 5 children, born to the late Maurice and Bridget Shortell "Bride" Dahill.

He attended Notre Dame High School in West Haven, 1950–54. Bill starred on the ND Baseball, Basketball and Football teams (where, among other things, he blocked for future NFL player Nick Pietrosante). He graduated from Providence College in 1958 with a BS in Business Management. At Providence, Bill played on the baseball and basketball teams. Bill was ROTC, and then after boot camp in Fort Benning Georgia he was in the Army Reserves and National Guard. Bill then met the love of his life, Elizabeth "Betty" P.
