William B. Lynch
Mr. William B. Lynch, 78, died on January 2, 2020 in Livingston after a 13-year battle with Parkinson’s Disease.Born and raised in West Haven, CT, Mr. Lynch spent his entire adult life in New York and New Jersey, most prominently in Greenwich Village and in Montclair. He graduated from Yale in 1965.
A software engineer for most of his life, he was a computer scientist before computer science even existed as an undergraduate major. He did IT work for, among other places, IBM, Goldman Sachs, and the Bank of New York. He always enjoyed trivia (watching Jeopardy! was a perennial highlight for him), scuba diving, Pepe’s Pizza in New Haven, and being active in the Yale Alumni Association.
Mr. Lynch is survived by his sons Tim and Chris, his siblings Barbara Bowden and James Lynch, his grandchildren Katherine and Miles, and a great many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews. He will be missed by all. In lieu of flowers, donations for Parkinson’s research (specifically to either the Michael J. Fox Foundation or the American Parkinson’s Disease Association) would be appreciated.
