Bill was married to his wife Donna and father of two children – Shawn and Heather. He passed away at just 60 years old from sporadic CJD.
Bill was a veteran of the United States Navy and a lineman for New Jersey Bell for many years, and an owner of Neptune’s Den SCUBA Shop in Hackettstown, NJ.
He was deeply involved with his passion for dogs. He was one of the founding members of both the United States Neapolitan Mastiff Club and the Garden State Neapolitan Mastiff Club. He showed his dogs in many states, even Canada, and bred some amazing champions.
We walk to honor his memory and the memories we had with him. We walk to give awareness to this disease so that others don't have to endure the loss of their loved one.
