William Tucker Broomall Jr.

William Tucker Broomall Jr. passed away on Sunday, September 25, 2022. His spirit of life is carried on by his children Jillian (husband Erik, grandchildren Lennon Tucker and Haven William); Joseph, and Michael (wife Sabrina, grandchild Devlyn); siblings Louise, Thomas and Joseph; and an extended family of relatives and friends from every walk of life. 

Before passing Will forged a 75 year trail of laughter, generosity and wisdom. After graduating High School at Woodrow Wilson in 1965 he served as a Machine Repairman Third Class in the United States Navy. 

Following that he began a career as a Tool and Die Maker at General Motors in Ewing, NJ. Upon retiring after 35 fulfilling years the world became his oyster once again. 

Will has spent the past 15 years of retirement exactly how he wanted. There would often be a Will sighting in Wal-Mart, Thrift Stores, Home Depot and Sam’s Club throughout Bucks County. He never could turn down a good deal. 

He also enjoyed time with the Blue’s Brothers Fishing Club and grabbing a beer at the VFW Post 6495 where he was often know for engaging in spirited debates. Among the fondest memories were those spent with children and grandchildren in California and Colorado. 

We find peace in knowing that he has been reunited with his mother Ethel, father William, brother Warren, best friend Harry and his favorite canal walking companion, Loukie Boy. 

Friends (and strangers he would love to have met) can visit with Will’s family at Dougherty Funeral Home on Sunday, October 2, from 11 am until 1 pm, followed by a Celebration of Life (and Eagles game) for the Legend that is Will B. at the VFW at 1605 Haines Road, Levittown PA, from 1 pm- 5pm. 

He will be buried on Monday, October 3, 2022 promptly at 9:30 am at Washington Crossing National Cemetery, 830 Highland Road, Newtown, PA 18940.   

In His memory you can make donations to the Rails to Trail or any organization you believe embodies his giving spirit.
