Bill DeFeo

William R. De Feo, II, 51, died at home on May 21, 2014. Bill was born and raised in Paterson, NJ. He graduated from Passaic County Tech High School and received his BA from New York University. He was currently pursuing his Masters at JU.

Bill was one of the most accomplished people. He was loving, caring, generous and extremely well liked. He will be missed by many, many people.

While he traveled a lot on business, he enjoyed vacationing and saw a good bit of the world, he was always a home loving guy and the proof is in his home. He was a gracious host who welcomed his friends and co-workers into his home and made them comfortable. Bill loved to cook and was not above stealing a favorite recipe from any one.

Maggie and Moe, his dogs, were his children, although he very much loved his nephew and nieces. Bill leaves behind his mother, Diana; brothers, James and Larry and their wives, Rosanna and Becky; sister, Lisa; and many nieces and nephews. He will also be missed by his many friends and co-workers.

A Celebration of Bill’s Life will be held at 2:00pm on Monday, June 2nd, in the Chapel of Hardage-Giddens Funeral Home of Mandarin.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to one of the no kill animal shelters, such as the Jacksonville Humane Society.
