William served in the U.S. Army Air Corp during WWII and fought in Africa and Italy. While in Italy, he met St. Padre Pio to whom he prayed daily. He had also been the owner and operator of Admiral Cleaning Service for many years before retiring. We had many happy times with him over coffee and crullers and will always remember the love he gave us all. Rest in peace Daddy.
