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.
