Beloved husband of the late Mary; father of William P of Northvale, James and Frank both of Deerfield Beach, FL; grandfather of Paul and Danielle, Gena and Dan, Robert, Dyan and John, Jimmy and Gina, Susan and patrick, Darren and Christie; great grandfather of seven.

In 1933, while attending Manhattan Prep, Bill was signed by the St Louis Cardinals organization as a catcher. He spent spring training with the Gas House Gang (Leo Durocher and Frankie Frisch) and played in Northeastern Minor Leaque.

After two years he was offered a job to work and play baseball for the NYC Sanitation Dept at a higher pay. Since it was during the depression, he accepted the offer.
