William Francis Carboni passed peacefully on May 22, 2025, at the age of 79.

He was born in Ridgefield to Peter Carboni and Margaret (Ryan) Carboni. He graduated from Ridgefield High School in 1963, and went on to attend Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts where he studied Civil Engineering.

After graduating, he married the love of his life Charlene (Stevens) Carboni, and they moved to California where they welcomed their daughter, Jennifer (Carboni) Murphy of St Petersburg, Florida. He later became the proud grandfather of Kayla (Murphy) Dyer of St Louis, Missouri, and Kyle Murphy of Newtown.

He spent his long career as a civil engineer and truly enjoyed his work. He loved being a grandfather and enjoyed life’s simple pleasures. These included traveling in his beloved motorhome with his grandchildren, a vanilla ice cream cone, a walk with his dog, and a good book.

He is survived by his daughter, grandchildren, and sisters, Ann DeLuca of Northford, Conn., and Peggy McLinden and her husband, Tom, of Hilton Head, S.C.

Bill was preceded in death by his wife, Charlene, and brother, Peter.

Though only his biological family members have been listed, he was a loving father and grandfather to many of his daughter and grandchildren's friends and will be missed by everyone who knew him.

Family and friends will be received on Saturday, June 21, from 11 am to 1 pm, at Kane Funeral Home, 25 Catoonah Street in Ridgefield. Reflections and tributes of Mr Carboni will be offered at the conclusion of the visitation. Interment will take place privately.
