William N. Luyben, 56, of Wyomissing, PA, passed away January 28, 2020 in his residence, with his loving wife and family by his side. He fought a valiant battle against lymphoma cancer for 1-1/2 years. Bill was the husband of Sharon P. (Love) Luyben. They celebrated 28 years of marriage on March 23, 2019. Born in Wilmington, DE, he was a son of William L. and Janet N. Luyben of Perkiomenville, PA. Bill graduated from Perkiomen Valley High School in 1981, having been a student athlete in football, wrestling and track, as well as being a member of the National Honor Society. He had been an active member of Jerusalem Evangelical Lutheran Church in Schwenksville, PA. Bill graduated from Lehigh University in 1986 with a Bachelor’s degree in accounting.

As a devoted husband and father, he assisted Sharon in her job as a music educator and Minister of Music by taking care of their children at church, as well as chaperoning many school Music Department trips. Bill played on several local softball teams, and enjoyed coaching his children in a variety of sports. Family always came first to Bill.

So sorry for your loss. I worked with Bill at Penske. He and I would talk about stocks as much as possible and some politics as well. He will be missed.

There nothing anyone can say that will make you and your family feel better at this time. You have my deep felt sympathy. I worked with Bill at Sovereign/Santander. It was with his tutoring I learned Auditing. He had a very good heart and was a friend. Georgia Dennis/Haslam

I had the pleasure of meeting Bill when he just started at Santander and through our chatting, came to find he graduated at the same high school I did and he knew my Uncle's. Bill was such a kind soul. My condolences to the family during this difficult time.

So sad to hear of Bill's passing. We graduated together at PV. I Bumped into him at Giant in Wyomissing a few years back. We laughed as we caught up with our lives and talked about high school days. May you all find peace in this difficult time.

Sharon, I am thinking of you and your family. I used to work right next to Bill for over two years and he always put a smile on my face - usually by singing along with his classic rock cds!

You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
