William Deemer Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Son of the late William and Mary Deemer, Bill was born on February 8, 1948 in Philadelphia, PA. He was raised in Edgewater Park, NJ, and attended Holy Cross high school in Delran where he earned 1st team All-County as a defensive tackle varsity football player. Bill enlisted in the US Navy in 1967 and served his country until 1972. While in the Navy, Bill worked as a Fire Control Technician and became a "shellback" after his 1st crossing of the equator aboard the USS Dahlgren. After his discharge from the Navy, Bill worked as a computer programmer for his career. Bill loved to relax and watch movies, but what he enjoyed most was riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle. Bill will be deeply missed.
He is survived by his son Eric Ransome, and daughter in-law Fran Ransome, grandchildren Grace and Mason, his siblings Donna Tancredi, MaryBeth England, and Arthur Deemer. Also, many nieces and nephews and their children.
Committal services and military honors for Bill will be held on Tuesday, July 1, 2025 at 11:30am at Brigadier General William C. Doyle Veterans Cemetery, 350 Province Line Road, Wrightstown, NJ 08562.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Bill's memory to your local VA organization.

I went to Navy Fire Control Technician school with Bill from April 1967 to January 1968. We became friends in a very short period of time as is easy to do when you serve with someone. After he went to the next level school on the East coast I went to my next level in California.
I always referred to him as my little brother.
We kept in touch for a number of years where the conversations lessened. I eventually lost contact with him, sadly.
Linda gave me his last phone number but he never called.
He was a great guy and I missed him.
Linda just informed me of his passing.
Ride your Harley up in the clouds Big Guy.
