Liam was a proud New Jerseyan and lifelong fan of the New York Jets. He loved Turks and Caicos, Long Beach Island, country music, a good game of poker, his vast network of friends and family, and above all, Stefanie.

His passing resulted from a rare form of neuroendocrine cancer, which he fought bravely, with humor and grace, for 8 months.

We are so sad to learn Liam couldn’t fight the cancer any longer. He was a very special advisor. We so enjoyed every conversation we had with him. He was a great listener and had a nice way of explaining the market activities. We had full trust in him and will miss speaking with him. We are saying prayers for Stephanie, Tim and all family members. Too young to leave us. May he rest in peace now.
