William Farley Obituary

Smart, funny and always interesting are just a few of the adjectives that described Bill Farley. Truly enjoyed our conversations over the years. A great guy who is missed by many.

Bill worked closely with my late husband, Andy Sidaris and me while we were filming the 12 film Andy Sidaris Collection featuring Playboy centerfolds. Bill established himself as a fine professional and personal friend, along with his devoted wife, Judy. Great memories. With loving thoughts, Arlene Sidaris

Sending my love and condolences to the family. He was such a wonderful man and kind to me.

Sending condolences to Judy Farley and the entire Farley family. So deeply sorry for your loss.

I will always cherish the memories with Bill at Playboy.
He always would always be available to talk and had the best stories. He had a heart of gold, and he´ll always be remembered, and never forgotten.. I hope you´re in heaven with Hef and BJ and all the other wonderful employees of Playboy that have passed on.
There must´ve been a big celebration in heaven for you.
My condolences to Judy and the family.
We all loved Bill and that will never change.

Bill was such a great man, he will truly be missed , I´m sending my prayers to his family

I knew Bill through the INDY mens group and valued him as a friend when we swapped war stories from 'back in the day." Condolences to his wife.

Bill, We will miss you great intellect and humor. I never gave a presentation when you were present that you didn't add some important information or perspective..Thanks

Heartbroken to hear of Bill's passing. An amazing man who led a fascinating life. Will sorely miss our email conversations over the years; Bill was always enlightening and encouraging. My deepest sympathies to Judy and family.

Bill was a wonderful man, filled with happiness and a smile. After initially speaking at, and then joining my INDY men's group, he attended many activities, invariably contributing his wisdom and warmth.
Judy and Bill became friends,we miss him, and will continue to hold both of them in our hearts and minds.

I am shocked and saddened to read this news. I have many good memories of our days at Canterbury and a wonderful visit here last year. My condolences to the family.

Our sincere sympathy to Judy and Bill´s family. He was a pleasure to be around and we always enjoyed his stories. Bill had a very interesting life and he will be missed.

Hearing that my partner Bill Farley is gone is a great shock. We worked together at Playboy for many years, Bill in LA and me in Chicago. We both worked at promoting Playboy. When I had a decision to make about publicizing the magazine in some way I would call Bill to help me think. But with the time difference between LA and Chicago, he always understood when I had to hang up so I could go home and watch JAG. Miss you, my dear friend.

I have such fond memories of working with Bill at Playboy. He was a mentor to me and took me under his wing. Bill had such a huge heart and cared so deeply for his family and close friends. My heart is with Judy right now. He will be so very missed.

Bill had a wit and sense of humor like no other. His life experience was exceptional. Judy and Bill were devoted partners. May the life you shared and the memories you made be a source of comfort.

I am heartbroken to hear this news. Mr. Bill will be missed. Prayers for peace and understanding in the days to come. Love Sully

We lost an incredible character and a sweet soul all wrapped up in a pair of Zubaz. May Bill Farley rest happily with every late jazz artist who graced the Playboy Jazz Festival stage during his memorable tenure.
