Obituary for William Lore

William Lore was born on the 1st day of July in 1943. Billy passed away peacefully in the arms of his loving wife on the 6th day of December, the year of our Lord 2025. It was 18 years later that Billy graduated from New Rochelle High School. 1961 was a moving year for Bill, he also married Dorothy his high school sweetheart, started his first job as stock boy in a local A&P. The best was yet to come when he saw his first son Kenny. He worked his way up the chain to store manager and even once was offered to be the district manager but turned it down just because he was a people person. Billy loved his job, loved all the people he worked with and most of all loved being with his family. A district manager job would limit most of what he loved so much.

William is pre-deceased by his mom and dad Frank and Grace Lore, and son, Billy, Jr. He is survived by his wife Dorothy, his two sons Kenny and Richie along with his granddaughter Sara, grandson Damen, daughter in law Nancy, and brother Frank and sister Barbara. Billy is also survived by a host of Lore's much too large to put on paper.

Bill would host many barbecues and dinners at the house he was so proud of. His yard would put many garden nurseries to shame. At the Italian Christmas Eve dinner more food was served than you could eat in the whole 12 days of Christmas. There is so much we will miss about Billy, but most of all it will be just Billy himself.
