William R. Godo of Fairfield, age 74, passed away after a long courageous battle with Cancer on April 5, 2014.

Bill was a Fairfield resident all his life and attended Nathan Hale School and Andrew Warde High School.  He was a graduate of the Connecticut School of Electronics in New Haven, CT. Bill served in the US Army. He was an Electronic Technician and worked for many local companies including Automatic Signal, General Science, ITT, Black & Decker and later Bills Home Repair Service before his retirement. Bill’s passion was maintaining his home and garden so much so that his daughter was married in the backyard. He took great pride in keeping a beautiful lawn and growing a variety of flowers, especially orchids.  He enjoyed fishing along Fairfield County’s shoreline and was an avid Yankee fan.  When his son was young, he truly enjoyed coaching little league in Fairfield.  Later in life, Bill spent many hours on the bleachers cheering on his grandson’s baseball and football games.
