ALPERN
WILLIAM "BILLY", of Philadel-phia, passed away on December 12, 2012, at the age of 94, after losing his beloved wife of 71 years, Grace, last month.
Billy is survived by his 3 children, Barbara, Richard and Jeffrey Alpern; loving daughters- in-law, Marybeth and Molly; and grandchildren, Max, Sam, Zachary, Nikki, Madison, Colm and Daniel.
Billy was a kind and generous friend to many and his warm sense of humor will be missed by all who knew him. He was a Lieutenant in the US Army during World War II, and spent most of his civilian life working in the jewelry business first as Vice President of the Bulova Watch Company and then as Assistant to the President of Citizen Watches.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Graveside Celebration of Billy's life Friday, December 14, at 1 P.M., at Roosevelt Memorial Park (Trevose). The family welcomes friends and relatives back to the residence at The Philadelphian. In lieu of flowers, please send contribu-tions to the American Diabetes Association, or any charity of your choice.
