William Benedetto

October 16, 1957 - November 22, 2019

William Benedetto of Mohegan Lake entered into eternal rest on November 22, 2019 at Westchester Medical Center at the age of 62 after suffering a massive stroke. Willy grew up in Inwood, NYC and went to Good Shepard School. After struggling with addiction for most of his life, he would’ve celebrated 15 years sober in 2020. It’s a great life accomplishment that his family has always been very proud of. He also received a liver transplant in 2013 and knew how lucky he was to have these “extra” six years. Willy is predeceased by his parents Pasquale Benedetto and Margaret Lundy Benedetto. His brothers Patrick Benedetto, Vincent Benedetto, Michael Benedetto, sister in laws Mary-Ann Benedetto and Janet Benedetto and his beloved brother in law Harold (Hoppy) Staffu. Willy is survived by his two sisters and caregivers Mary Benedetto Staffu and Gina Benedetto, his brother and sister in law Joseph Benedetto and Patricia Benedetto. He’s also an Uncle, Great Uncle and Great, Great Uncle to many nieces and nephews who will miss him very much.
