About | William Neill Coffey, age 43, of Middletown, Rhode Island, passed away on May 31, 2021 after a lengthy illness. Born in Newport, RI on June 21, 1977, he was the only son of Neill Freeman and Diane Carmody Coffey. After graduating from Middletown High School in 1996, Billy proudly worked alongside his father for the family business, Coffey's Citgo. Always ready with a welcoming smile, Billy's warm, friendly, and respectful manner made him a favorite with customers old and new. In addition to being a dedicated and devoted employee, Billy was an avid reader who enjoyed learning about all aspects of American history, but the Colonial and WWII eras were the ones he enjoyed best. Although history was what interested him the most, he could just as easily offer a recommendation on a wide variety of topics. Billy was a selfless, loyal friend with a generous spirit who would help anyone in any way he could. His quick wit and infectious smile will be missed by all who knew and loved him. |
