William James Carroll

The family of William J. Carroll are saddened to announce that he passed away at home on Wednesday,
October 18th, after a long illness. He was 83 years old. Bill leaves his wife and childhood sweetheart,
Laura (Serino), his three children and their spouses, Kathleen and Robert Buckley, William and Maura
Carroll, and Karen and George Gatteny. Bill adored his grandchildren, Meghan Buckley and Arthur
Martiroso, Katie Buckley, Maggie Carroll, Dorothy Carroll, Patrick Carroll, and great granddaughter,
Juliana Martiroso.

Bill was the son of Francis D. and Angela (Glavine) Carroll, who were both born in Newfoundland,
Canada. He is survived by his sister, Mary Lanni and predeceased by his two brothers, Francis and John
(Tommy) and one sister, Anne DiRuzza.

Family meant everything to Bill, and nothing made him happier than to have his family gathered for
dinner on Sundays. In the midst of the delightful chaos of laughter and conversation, Bill would look
across the dinner table to his wife Laura and they would both smile, sharing the joy of the moment. His
seat at the table will now be empty but his spirit will live on through his family every Sunday.
Visitation will be held from 3pm to 7pm on Monday, October 23 rd at the Paul Buonfiglio & Sons-Bruno
Funeral Home, 128 Revere St, Revere. Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, October 24 th at 10am at
the Immaculate Conception Church, 133 Beach St., Revere. Burial will be at Holy Cross Cemetery, 175
Broadway, Malden.
