In loving memory of

William A. Roccia "Bill"
October 6, 1954 - January 5, 2022

William A. Roccia, on January 5, 2022, of Mount Ephraim. Age 67.

Beloved husband of Donna. Devoted father of John D. Roccia II and Kate (Aaron) Lyle. Loving grandfather of Lila, Emma, and William A. Roccia II and Ellie Lyle. Dear brother of Karen (Michael) Popelak and Gayle Roccia. Also survived by many nieces, nephews, godchildren and NetScum.

Bill was a beloved neighbor, savvy mentor, eager problem-solver, joyful musician, and mythic figure to the vast number of people who had the honor to know him. His many vocations and adventures gave him ample wisdom and many super heroic qualities, both of which he happily employed in the service of everyone he met. There were none like him, and his kind will not come again; we are poorer for his passing but infinitely richer for having walked with him while he was here.

There will be a viewing from 10am to 12pm on Saturday, January 15, at GARDNER FUNERAL HOME, RUNNEMEDE.

Funeral Service 12pm at the Funeral Home.

Interment Harleigh Cemetery, Camden.
