William "Big Bill" Connor III

Bill was born in Trenton, New Jersey to William and Margaret Connor and raised in Levittown, PA. He was a 1969 graduate of Bishop Egan High School and an enlisted veteran of the United States Air Force, serving from 1971-1974.

Bill was a proud second-generation employee of U.S. Steel Fairless Works for more than 30 years, concluding his career at Sam’s Club in Langhorne, PA. A tireless worker and charismatic personality, Bill could also be found tending bar at various establishments in the Levittown area throughout his long career.

A longtime resident of Morrisville, PA; Bill was a jovial and supportive neighbor, often found bringing groups of people together for memorable “porch parties” or lending a helping hand to others on Barclay Ave. He was an avid sports fan and trivia buff who enjoyed NASCAR events, rooting for the Philadelphia Phillies and Eagles, and “playing” Jeopardy! nightly. Often heard before seen, Bill was a gregarious storyteller with a bar jukebox track always at the ready.

More than anything, he was a proud, devoted, and loving father – never missing a game, ceremony, or important life moment despite his industrious work schedule.

Bill joins his wife Lynn (Paff) Connor in Heaven and will be remembered by his son Jacob Connor, his sister Kathy Lawton (Connor), his nephew Bryan Lawton, his niece Lisa Ruszin (Lawton), and extended members of the Lawton and Connor families throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
