Passing of Fire Industry Leader William J. Darley

William Joseph Darley, age 89, of River Forest, IL, and Williams Bay, WI, passed away at home on April 17, 2018, surrounded by his family. Bill leaves a legacy of love through family, friendships, charities, and a family business. 

The accomplishments throughout his life are a testament to his strong work ethic, adventurous spirit, Catholic faith, and devotion to his family and the W. S. Darley & Company, where he served as Chairman of the Board and CEO.  

Many will recall Bill's years of involvement in FAMA, leading as its President in 1987. He was recognized as a FAMA Star Achiever recipient in 2000 and was inducted as an Honorary Member in 2004.  Bill was the only FAMA President to have two sons follow him in that role - Paul in 2000, and Peter in 2010.

Of all his successes, Bill is most known not by what he did, but who he was. He was a friend to all - kind, humble, accepting, funny, and true - and he treated all as though he'd known them forever. 

Bill was the beloved husband of Frances Butler Darley and the late Jeanne Morrissy Darley; loving father of Stephen (Darlene), Peter (Karen), Thomas (Pamela), James (Christina), Paul (Heidi) Darley, Anne (Randy) Freedman, and the late William C. and Mary Krina (Michael) Mattio; adored grandfather of 12; dear brother of Patricia (the late Dr. Philip) Long and Reginald C. (the late Francella) Darley and the late Julia (the late Edward) LeFevour; and many nieces and nephews. 

Visitation: Sunday, April 22, 4:00-7:00pm, Drechsler, Brown & Williams Funeral Home, 203 S. Marion, Oak Park.
