William Rosser Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 31, 2019.

William Morgan Rosser, 68, passed away on March 23, 2019, at the Berkshire Center, Exeter, Pa., after a long illness.

Born Nov. 28, 1950, in Honesdale, Pa., Bill was the son of the late Rev. William Morgan Rosser and Anna (Davis) Rosser.

William was a 1968 graduate of Lake-Lehman High School and obtained his associate degree in electrical

engineering from Penn State. He continued his education at Albright College.

He was employed at Bell Laboratories in Reading, Pa., for 17 years, and then afterwards, as an entrepreneur,

established several businesses.

In 1990, he, along with friend and colleague, Cynthia Cauffman, founded the Consult/ix Group, a software

development and consulting firm that serviced multiple businesses and schools in Reading and the greater

Philadelphia area.

He was a former member of the Reading Radio Club and held the call letters K3FOL.

Bill was also a talented guitarist and lead vocalist in

several bands, the latest being Steel Horse and Steel Horse Acoustic. Bill and the band opened for many artists over the years, including the Out Laws and Pure Prairie League, in West Virginia, and he shared the stage with the Jimmie VanZant band in Robesonia. He can be heard at https://soundcloud.com/charles-fick-347758233/smell-the-roses.

Married for 43 years, William is survived by his wife, Janis L. (Blight) and three sons: William Morgan Rosser III, husband to Sarah (Montgomery), Christopher Leland Rosser, husband to Melanie (Hill) and Thomas John

Rosser, husband to Ashley (Burke). He was also blessed with eight grandchildren: Alexis, Samantha, Sapphire,

Desmond, Scarlett, Brian, Emily and Lilly. In addition, he is survived by his brother, John Morgan Rosser, and sister-in-law, Carol (Martin) along with their two daughters,

Rachel, wife of Carl Burns, and Rebecca Rosser, of Sweet Valley, Pa.

Bill was a member of the Maple Grove United Methodist Church.

Dad,

I've been putting this off because I don't want to say goodbye yet.

Thank you for being an amazing man. You always provided every opportunity for mom, my brothers, and myself. We were always treated with love, compassion, and respect. You are the most selfless man I've ever known.

I love you and miss you terribly and the world is a little darker without you shining in it. I'm eternally greatful for the little bit of time you saved for me at the end and will keep it in my heart forever. It meant the world.

I promise to strive to be the best man I can be and will continue to make you proud. You left me with big shoes to fill.

Give everyone a hug. I'll see you again someday.

Love always and forever,
Your Son William Morgan Rosser III

Rest in peace Bill. Let the music guide you through the second act. We will have to wait until we cross to see you again, but your voice and music will stay fresh in my mind until we meet again. Thanks for the great memories my friend.
