William Peters, age 89 of Pompton Lakes, died on Saturday, March 15, 2008.
William was born in Duisburg, Germany and grew up in Holland before emigrating with his family to American in 1956. He lived in Passaic and then Clifton before retiring to Boynton Beach Florida in 1983. He and his wife recently moved to Pompton Lakes to be closer to their family.
Bill had worked as a laboratory technician for Pantosote in Passaic. He started his laboratory career as a chemist working at a coal mine in Holland. Before that, he had been a police officer in Holland. His police patrol days caused him to meet a cute young girl who worked at the local movie house selling tickets from the ticket booth. Bill would visit her while on police duty and before too long he asked her to marry him. Bill and Hilde enjoyed 63 years of marriage together.
Bills life really revolved around soccer. He loved the game and officiated at many professional events. He was a FIFA referee, which took him to many different countries as an official. On a more local level, he was a member of the Wayne Sports Friends Soccer Club and the German-American Club in Lantana, Florida. He was also a Mason, belonging to the Passaic Lodge. Bills son Joe recalls family car rides that his dad loved to take them on, usually to a nearby lake to go swimming, and once they went to Washington DC together. The family also took a wonderful vacation to Europe, including Austria, Germany, and Holland.
William is survived by his wife Hildegarde (nee Buysens); one son Joseph and his wife Janice of Wayne; one daughter Marie Noel and her husband Guy of Brick, NJ; four grandchildren, Carolyn Mingo of Vernon, Laura Peters of Wayne, Jimmy Boult of Brick, and Richard Boult and his wife Traci Anne of West Paterson; and five great-grandchildren, Michael and Mathew Mingo of Vernon, and Logan, Dilon, and Cannon Boult of West Paterson.
