William J. Mandara

Born in Hackensack, NJ, in 1948 to Joseph and Connie Mandara, Bill was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend.

Bill was a proud graduate of Hackensack High School. He began his professional career at Savin Corporation, where he worked for 20 years and rose to become Director of New York City Major Accounts Field Service Operations. In 1988, he left to pursue his entrepreneurial dreams and founded Mandara Associates, the computer consulting and repair company he operated with dedication for 37 years. He was never too busy to help his friends, family, and customers with their computer questions — always offering support with patience, kindness, and expertise.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 55 years, Sue Mandara; his cherished daughters, Michele Krayem and Tammy Mandara; and his sons-in-law, Tim Krayem and Brian Lapsley. He was a proud grandfather to Rayelle, Colden, Matthew, Melissa, and Genevieve, and a loving great-grandfather to Kali. Bill is also survived by his brother, Joseph Mandara, sister-in-law Phyllis Mandara, by his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Michael and Christine Faller, and by the many nieces and nephews he adored.

He was predeceased by his parents, Joseph and Connie Mandara, and his younger brother, Baby Johnny.

Bill will be remembered for his quick wit, deep technical knowledge, warm heart, and the deep love he had for his family.
