Bill was a partner in Sparaco and Youngblood Engineering and Land Surveying PLLC, providing land surveying and engineering services for the Hudson Valley region and Orange County for 25 years. He proudly continued his father’s legacy in both the land surveying and aviation industries.

Youngblood. Bill was a fun-loving uncle to his nieces and nephews: Nicole (Jason) Van Ness, Kathryn and Kelly Manizza, Christian Salama, Hayden and Isabelle Locke, and Dane Bollenbach; and his grandniece Aviana and grandnephew Jace Van Ness.

Bill was a kind person with an engaging presence who treasured his relationships with his many friends and found his greatest joy spending time with his children.

Bill and Bobby, Your dad was a force for good. He was my friend and former brother in law. He was a successful businessman, he was a great pilot and a loving father. He will be remembered as a very special man. Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. Nabil Salama and Anna

Really very sorry to hear about Bill's passing. He was always so friendly and enthusiastic when I had vacations in America, where I met with Bill or chatted on the phone. Such a sad loss. R.I.P.

My wife Stephanie and I adored Billy and held him in the highest regard as an old friend I occasionally kept in touch with and hoped to play golf with in the future. I also used Billy as a land surveyor when we built the golf range in Florida NY 30 years ago. He was clearly one of the good guys and I will miss him. My condolences to his family, especially his boys and especially Janet, though we were never close when we were young and had different social circles, I always said hello, because I always new the Youngblood’s were good people, the kind whose company was always an honor and pleasure to be around MM
