William Long

A year after graduation, I married Loretta O’Keeffe.  We had six children, five girls and one boy.  At this time, there are thirteen grandchildren.  After graduation, I went into the U.S. Coast Guard Reserves. After being discharged from the Coast Guard, I worked for Western Electric for two years.  I then went to work on the tugboats in New York harbor from 1962-1969.  In 1969, I became a New York City Department of Corrections officer and worked in the Brooklyn House of Detention.  In 1980, I was promoted to Captain where I worked at Riker’s Island, King’s County Hospital and I retired in 1989.   After retirement I worked as Armed Security in Manhattan until 1999.  At this time, I retired completely and moved from Tottenville to Manahawkin, New Jersey.  At the present time I enjoy golfing and fishing.
