William F. LeDrew of Somerdale, NJ., passed away on July 16, 2025. Age 80. Devoted husband of Shirley (née Marron) for 50 years. Beloved father of Lance (Tina) Fuller, Heidi Fuller, and Mark LeDrew. Loving grandfather of Michael Fuller and Lauren Scully. Also survived by many other loving extended family members. Preceded in death by his parents, Reginald and Julia LeDrew and siblings Catherine Glenn and Fred LeDrew.

Bill proudly served in the United States Army National Guard. He loved the game of golf whether he was playing or watching and managed to get 2 holes in 1 throughout his life. He loved Philadelphia sports, especially his Phillies. Bill was the one everyone turned to for help and guidance with his generous personality. Bill loved to celebrate holidays and birthdays with his family and to take trips with them down the shore. Throughout all of his health obstacles, he never complained and continued to fight to the very end. Above all, family and his faith were everything to Bill and he was the glue that held the family together.
