It is with great sadness that we note the passing of William R. Padbury, 89. Bill was born in Philadelphia PA and resided most of his life in Langhorne, PA, before moving to NJ 10 years ago. He worked for Bell of Pennsylvania for 36 years in the Installation and Repair department. Bill served the Army for 2 years, then the Army Reserve for 6 more years.

Bill enjoyed working in his yard, walking his dog, spending time with family, social breakfasts with fellow retirees and he loved rooting for those Phillies!!
