Bill was a beloved son, brother, husband, father, uncle and most recently pop - pop. He loved spending time with his family and was always making everyone laugh at holiday gatherings. He loved to watch sports and cheering on the Philadelphia Flyers with his wife, Diane and attending the sporting events of his nieces and nephews. He was so proud of his nephews Michael and Matthew now serving our country in the Army and Marines respectively. He and Diane had recently purchased a shore home in Avalon. It was his happy place and he could spend hours sitting in his beach chair. He will always be remembered for his contagious smile and laugh, as well as the kindness he extended to everyone met. He will be dearly missed by his family, friends, brothers and sisters of the Ridley Township Police Department and S.M. Vauclain Fire Department and the entire Ridley Community.
