William "Bill" Phair entered into eternal rest August 9, 2014 at Elant at Goshen.
He was the son of the late John Phair and Margaret Casey Phair. He was predeceased by his brother, John. He is survived by his wife, Margaret; his children: William and his wife, Ellen, Patricia and her fiance, Kevin, Christopher and his wife, Dianne, Stephen and his wife, Cindy; his six grandchildren: William and his wife, April, Stephen Tinelli and his wife, April, Jessica, Raquel, Carly and Christopher and most recently his beloved great-granddaughter, Mia Bella. Bill took great pride in his children and grandchildren and never missed an opportunity to speak of their accomplishments.
Bill was an avid sports fan and was a strong supporter of the NY Yankees, NY Giants and the NY Rangers.
He served in the U.S. Navy 1952-1956 aboard the USS Coral Sea.
He served 23 years with the NYPD retiring as Sergeant. After retiring he worked as a supervisor with Waldenbooks and U.S. Chess Federation. He was last employed at Cornwall High School in Security.
He had many happy memories of family events including the years he spent going on camping trips with his family and spoke very often of a favorite Maine vacation spent with family and dear friends. He enjoyed going on the Senior Trips, most especially, Las Vegas.
Bill will be sadly missed but he leaves with our loving wishes for his journey home to God.
