William Patrick Mahoney III
(1947-2018)
William Patrick Mahoney III died peacefully on October 28, 2018 in his home in Houston, Texas, surrounded by family. He was 71. Born into a pioneering Arizona family in Phoenix, Bill was the eldest of nine siblings. His early years were shaped by family involvement in politics, specifically, his father’s ambassadorship to the West African country of Ghana during the Kennedy administration. Bill attended Achimota, a historic and renowned secondary school that produced generations of African leaders. He graduated with honors and completed his senior year at Canterbury School in New Milford, Connecticut. The University of Notre Dame was the highlight of Bill’s academic endeavors. He received dual degrees: a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy.
Bill was an accomplished sportsman. He played football at Notre Dame, excelled at baseball, golf, and scuba diving, and enjoyed the camaraderie of his motorcycle club and his classic Porsche cars. His successful professional career, working for Lummus, Fluor, Kellogg and KBR engineering companies, took him to many parts of the world.
Bill was a wise, loyal presence to friends and family. He enriched our lives immeasurably and he will be greatly missed. Bill is survived by his beloved wife, Chulee, his son, Patrick, and his siblings: Gladys, Mary, Richard, Eileen, Lawrence, Emmet, Noel and Sheila, and numerous nieces and nephews. A private memorial service was held on January 12, 2019, in Phoenix.
