Bill was born in Newark to William Sr. and Elizabeth Daddio.  He was raised in Belleville and the family moved to Nutley where Bill would graduate from Nutley High School with the Class of 1964. After Nutley he lived in Rockaway and Mount Olive before moving to Ortley Beach in retirement.

While in high school Bill’s dad helped him get a job at DeLuxe Check Printing and he worked at DeLuxe for the next forty years.  Bill met Doris Quint at DeLuxe and they were friends for many years.  Bill and Doris married on November 24, 2003. Bill always put Doris first and to this day she says she couldn’t have married a better man.

Bill will be remembered as a quiet, strong, caring and loving man. He enjoyed sports and was a loyal New York Yankee fan that held season tickets for many years. He also enjoyed playing golf and when it came to football he was a Dallas Cowboys fan. Bill will be dearly missed by his two birds a Conure Parrot named Sammy and a Cockatiel named Kiwi.
