William Perhacs Obituary
Robbinsville - William (Bill) J. Perhacs, 55, passed away unexpectedly on September 5, 2020.
Bill was born July 12, 1965, to the late Anthony W. Perhacs and Barbara J. Perhacs in Jersey City. After graduating from Roxbury High School in 1983, Bill graduated from the New Jersey Institute of Technology in 1989 where he later earned a master's degree, and went on to earn his Professional Engineering license (PE).
Recently Bill was a Director of Global Energy & Sustainability Services for Bristol Myers-Squibb. Bill is survived by his wife Valerie; daughter, Julia; mother Barbara Perhacs; siblings Anthony Perhacs, Sr. (wife, Jennifer Carson); Jennifer Heath (husband, Scott); James Perhacs (wife, Aimee Freund); his mother-in-law, Esther Wood; brother-in-law Don Wood (wife, Geri); and many nephews and nieces whom he adored.
Bill valued relationships and connections with people, but especially with family and friends. Everyone he met, he made feel welcome and important. Bill was a people person, always willing to go out of his way to lend a hand, offer advice, or to organize an event. This led Bill to be involved with many activities. Although "Dad" was his favorite title, his next favorite was "Coach Bill." Bill spent many years coaching his daughter Julia in softball, his work softball team, Wade's Army, and this past year, Speedway, his men's slow-pitch team. Through all of these teams, Bill built a tremendous "softball family."
Bill loved sports, being active, outdoors, and traveling. When not playing softball, he ran in triathlons, fished, and rode his motorcycle--always building friendships, bettering himself, and building up those around him. Bill leaves a tremendous legacy.

Bill was my mentor from ACP as I began my MBA and started exploring energy and sustainability as a career. He was a great man and I'm grateful for his guidance and the chance to know him. I'm so sorry for your loss and will keep you all in my thoughts.

I had the pleasure of coaching girls softball with Bill for a few years, with Julia on our team. Bill knew the game so well, respected by his players and colleagues. With his teaching methods, he made the game more fun all involved. And helped make me a better coach too. Can't say I found a better person to work with..
Valerie and Julia - we are so sorry. Bill will be missed by all he met.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's been a long time since I've spoken to your family, but Bill was one of the best coaches I've ever had, across the different sports I played. He was a wonderful man.
