William V. Demmel

William V. Demmel, 83, peacefully passed away in his home on Sunday March 15, 2026. Born in Allentown, he was a son of the late William and Irene (Bartholomew) Demmel.

William devoted many years to working at the Hess's Department Store, where he was known for his strong work ethic and dedication. He was a hardworking and loving man who took great pride in all that he did. He had a deep passion for antique cars and one of his most cherished traditions was attending the Das Awkscht Fescht Antique Car Show each year with his granddaughter, Ivy-a special time they shared that created lasting memories. William was an avid sports fan and a diehard Philadelphia Phillies and Philadelphia Eagles fan. William also brought joy to many as the host of the ABE Sunday Singles dances, where he organized and ran weekly events that brought people together. A true character, he always had a story to share and a way of making those around him smile. He was a co-founder of Parents Without Partners, reflecting his commitment to community and connection. But most of all, William will be remembered for his stories and the love he had for his family and friends. He will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him.

Surviving are his daughters: Tiffany and Tammy Demmel. Grandchildren: Ivy, Autumn, Brandon, Dakotah, Jahsilynn. Great Grandchildren: Xander, Holland and Rowen. William was predeceased by his brother Richard and his grandson Vincent.

Services will be announced at a later date.
