Birth date: Jan 4, 1927 Death date: Apr 24, 2014
William H. Shannon, Jr., age 87, of Dagsboro, DE, previously of North Wales and Lansdale, PA, passed away peacefully at his home that he cherished greatly. Born in Harleysville, PA, Bill was the son of the late Annie (Ruth) and Wi Read Obituary
Bill was the first neighbor to greet us as we were considering buying our home...he definitely had something to do with our decision. He was always kind, helpful (even gave a hand when Steve built our garage), and gave great gardening advice. We enjoyed his friendship and company, his snack mix and strawberry cake for many years and we both will miss him very much.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Wayne and all of your family. We enjoyed visiting with Bill, a little story if I might. Two months after purchasing our DE home we were working in the back yard, and your Dad came over to say hi, he said he saw the Sellersville Fire Dept plate on the car, he said you know I use to live in Sellersville. Really we replied? Oh where did you live?? On Walnut Street. Really, we live on Walnut Street, we inquired what was your house number. As it turned out he was just a little way up the street from us in Sellersville. What a small world!! We were all very surprised! RIP Bill, you will be missed, and the Scout memorabilia he gave us we gave to the Sellersville Museum where it will be enjoyed by many. Thank you.
Our thoughts and Prayers are with you.
