William Pisciella Obituary

William "Bill" Pisciella
08/06/1943 - 10/14/2025
Surrounded by his family and loving wife of over 50 years, Joe Ann Pisciella, Bill died on October 14, 2025 at his home in Willis, Texas. Born in Philadelphia, he grew up in Delran, New Jersey. Bill lived for most of his life in Texas. A lifetime Eagles fan, he watched every game cheering them on to two Super Bowl wins while wearing his Eagles gear. He was an avid sports fan. He adored his precious dogs and that feeling was mutual. He was a retired Texas teacher and Drexel graduate who published two brilliant books written for students about occupying Mars. He was working on a third book about robotics. Bill was a kind soul, who shared a loving and warm spirit with his family, friends and students. He dedicated his life to education and helping others succeed. His passion was to make a difference in this world for everyone, especially those who were struggling. His love will be missed by so many that he touched. But he will live on in our hearts forever.

My deepest condolences go out to you, Joe Ann, as well as to all of your family. Bill was a devoted husband; I recall the first time I met him over a decade ago (on the back porch of your unique and beloved Conroe home) he voiced how his greatest concern was being sure he could take care of you - both at that time and in the future. God bless all of you. Bill´s was a life well lived!

I remember my cousin Billy as we knew him. My parents took us to Billy´s mom (Aunt Vittina ) and his dad´s (Uncle Pinny) house in New Jersey for family get togethers. My mom was Aunt Vittina´s sister. He was a quiet and gentle young man. I am amazed at all he accomplished in his life. I would have loved to read his books. May he rest in peace and May God Bless his family.
