It is with great sadness we announce the passing of William R. Beck who died suddenly on September 2, 2025. William more affectionately known as Billy was a loving father, brother, uncle, loyal friend, dedicated partner, a proud New Yorker and U.S Marine. Billy was a generous friend with an innate ability to connect with almost anyone. He was a lover of music, animals, and traveling. You could often find him at a concert or planning his next fishing excursion. Ever the gifted storyteller, he could captivate a room with his humorous and lively tales. He will be deeply missed but his legacy will continue to live on through shared memories with his family and friends.
He is survived by his partner Maureen Fodera, his daughter Jessica Beck, his son William Beck, their mother Barbara Beck, his sister Patricia Beck, and his sister Janette Hogan, his nephew Shane Hogan and his niece Devon Ressler.
He is preceded in death by his parents, William and Anita Beck, and his sister, Susan Marie McAvey.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider making a donation to the North Shore Animal League.
