William H. Groene Obituary
With profound sadness, we say goodbye to William H. Groene (Setauket, New York), born in Manhattan, New York, whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. William left this world on April 21, 2025 at the age of 86, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
As we bid farewell to this cherished soul, solace is taken in the memories held dear — the laughter shared, the wisdom imparted, the moments of quiet reflection in their presence. Though William may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the echoes of his kindness, the warmth of his embrace, and the light of his enduring love.
He was predeceased by: his son David; and his son-in-law Jonathan Baran. He is survived by: his grandchildren, Colby, Julia, Ryan and Liam; his wife Rosemary Phillips; and his children, Scott (Michele), Leslie and Doug (Jamie).
He had a deep appreciation for the outdoors, whether it was a beach day, a home project in the backyard under the sun, or time spent throwing around a frisbee with his beloved O'Neal, the family's loyal black lab from the Guide Dog Foundation.
