William Thomas "Bill" Daly, born on January 30, 1950, passed away peacefully on January 18, 2025, in New York City.
Bill grew up in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City, and later divided his time between New York City and Breezy Point, NY. From the age of five, he developed a lifelong passion for hockey, playing roller and ice hockey with neighborhood friends and competing in the New York Metropolitan League, amongst others. A devoted fan of the New York Rangers, Bill’s love for the sport remained constant throughout his life. In his later years, he discovered a love for golf. Bill cherished his time on the course and his many golf trips, spending countless hours perfecting his swing and enjoying the camaraderie. He also loved fishing with friends, whether on his own boat or theirs.
In his professional life, Bill found fulfillment as a realtor and broker in Breezy Point, where he built meaningful connections with clients and colleagues. He also dedicated himself to supporting others both In the Rooms and outside, offering mentorship and guidance that reflected his generous spirit.
Bill was a devoted husband to Kelly Daly for 21 years and a loving father to his children, son, William Thomas Daly Jr. and his wife Laurie Daly, and his daughter Colleen Daly-Arroyo and her husband Alberto Arroyo. He was a beloved brother to Joseph Daly and brother-in-law to Catherine and Danny Frank and Eddie and Mary Opfer. Bill was a proud uncle to Debra Daly, Pamela Currlin, Claudia Stringer, Caitlyn Opfer, Danny Frank, Michael Frank, Brian Opfer, and many great-nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents John M. Daly Sr. and Margaret Daly; his brother John M. Daly Jr.; and his sister-in-law Palma Daly.
