Bill-Bill was born and raised in the Fishtown section of Philadelphia and after getting married, remained there with his own family.  He attended Mastbaum High school and then worked first as a Shipwright with the Navy Yard and then as a Maintenance Engineer with the William Penn House.  In his downtime he enjoyed all of his Philadelphia hometown sports teams, classic cars and traveling to car shows, especially to the jersey shore. He had a love of his neighborhood, especially Penn Treaty Park.  As a boy he spent time there flying kites and hanging with friends. As an adult, he also loved spending time there with friends and family every Sunday, enjoying barbecues and reminiscing about past times and loved ones that had passed on. His greatest joy was being with his grandchildren. He loved to take them fishing at the Fish Hatcheries and was the best Baseball and Soccer Pop Pop, who loved being at their games.  He will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him.
