SARATOGA SPRINGS — William Stanley, 79, peacefully passed away at home on April 9, 2020. Bill was born and raised in Amsterdam, NY. His love of sports was a life long passion. He was a natural basketball and baseball player, then a coach and referee. Bill committed himself to a career of teaching health education at Saratoga Springs High School, imparting practical wisdom which his students valued and enjoyed. Bill was married to his loving wife, Patricia (who predeceased him) and together they shared time enjoying golf/tennis/pickle ball games, dining out and movies and best of all, rescuing six cocker spaniels over the years. Among his best qualities, everyone will remember Bill’s wit and humor, his broad smile, and sharing sports trivia. The family sincerely thanks all the doctors, nurses, close neighbors and friends who cared about Bill and helped to maintain his home and property. A special thanks to Chris and Melissa Shipley who provided loving care for Bill in recent months.
There are no services planned at this time.
