William R. Eaton, Jr.

William Robert Eaton, Jr., aged 61, passed away on December 27, 2024 in Boston, Massachusetts. Bill was born on May 27, 1963 in Pittsburgh. He was a graduate of North Allegheny High School, Clarion University of Pennsylvania, and Ursuline College where he received his Master’s Degree in Education. 

Known for his outgoing nature, gift of engaging conversation, and a sharp wit that brought laughter to those around him, he found fulfillment in careers as both a teacher and a sales professional. 

Above all, his greatest joy was his children, with whom he shared countless cherished moments. He loved taking them on vacations on the Northeast coast, with Cape Cod and Maine holding a special place in his heart. He deepened his love for the region in recent years through his passion for landscape photography. 

Bill is preceded in death by his mother, Rosemary Feeney Eaton. He is survived by his father, William Eaton, and his beloved children, Katherine and Colin Eaton. He is also survived by his brothers Thomas (Angela) Eaton and John (Sharon) Eaton, along with their families.
