William Sebastian Ferringo (Aug. 15, 1932 – Oct. 24, 2014), a longtime resident of Coupeville, Wash., passed away peacefully with his family around him under the compassionate care of the CCU staff at Whidbey General.

Bill was an avid landscape, wildlife and portrait photographer both professionally and privately.

Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., he grew up on Staten Island, N.Y., where he learned his love of classical music, played the violin in school and also started using his exceptional talents in photography.

He moved to Las Vegas, where he worked as a wedding and portrait photographer and many other professional jobs as well.

He and his wife, Evelyn, retired to Coupeville approximately 25 years ago. After Evelyn passed in 1993, he met his more recent partner, Maria, who sadly predeceased Bill in 2011.

He is survived by his son, Richard (Lorraine) and daughters, Kimberly (Alan) and Patricia. Also surviving is a granddaughter, Tausha; extended family; and friends who wish to memorialize Bill. Please feel free to go the following website at www.wallinfuneralhome.com
