Correction: Some typos have been made e.g. Thomas (Tom) Eugene Healy is William's brothers correct name, i have swapped first and second names around on this site as a typo (due to absence of editing function).

William John Healy is the brother of Eugene Thomas Healy (please read the personal story of Eugene Thomas Healy on this site). William John Healy is remembered fondly by the Healy family of Dalby, his nephews and nieces. William had one sister, Frances, and 4 brothers' Joseph, Edward, Walter and Eugene (Eugene Thomas Healy also fought in the war and is honored on this site). William's parents were John and Agnes Healy who are buried in the Monumental Dalby cemetery. William's mother Agnes would cry endlessly in sadness at the loss of William at war for the entirety of her life. William's brother Walter Healy married Catherine Malone and they are also buried in the monumental Dalby cemetery with Walter and William's parents John and Agnes Healy. The Healy's made their mark in hotel ownership on the South-Western Downs, trades and businesses. Walter Healy (son of John and Agnes, and Eugene's brother) worked as as printer at the Dalby Herald until his death at 56 and with his wife Catherine, they had 8 children, two daughters Judith (Julie) and Catherine (Cath), and 6 sons, Brian Francis (my dad), Gregory, Kevin, Peter, John, Walter (Wally). Of those, nephew Wally Healy of Dalby has actively sought a memorial plaque in Eugene's home town of Dalby. His other nephew Brian Francis Healy born 1935 will be buried next to Eugene Thomas Healy at the Mount Gravatt cemetery.
