Obituary for William LaPadula

William (Bill) S. LaPadula Jr., 82, of Rutherford, passed away peacefully with his loving daughter at his side, in her home in New Milford, PA on Wednesday, January 6, 2016. Having battled with cancer for several years, he is now with his beloved wife again, Dolores (Yesenko) LaPadula, who passed on May 10, 1994.
Bill was born in Lyndhurst on January 10, 1933 to the late William S. Sr. and Irene LaPadula. He graduated from Bloomfield Tech HS and joined the army and was a veteran of the Korean War. He graduated from Western Kentucky University. He married and moved to Rutherford in 1963.
He retired from being a lifelong truck driver in the 90s, but yet worked hard until shortly before passing. He loved football and devoted 42 years to the NJFOA before retiring in 2014. He volunteered many years to the Boy Scouts of America as an assistant scout master. He was also part of the Bergen County Juvenile Conference Committee of Rutherford. One thing he did, for over 40 years, which made him happy, was to bring happiness to families at Christmas by visiting them dressed as Santa.
He is survived by his daughter Linda Dunn and her significant other Clifford Smith Sr. of New Milford, PA, and two grandsons, who meant everything in the world to him, Anthony and Ryan Dunn, son William S. LaPadula III and wife Sharon of Elmwood Park, son Vincente LaPadula of Rutherford, sister Veronica Stopper and husband Carl, and girlfriend Dorothy Conrad.
A memorial service will be held at Calhoun-Mania Funeral Home, 19 Lincoln Ave. Rutherford, NJ 07070 on Saturday February 6, 2016, 2 PM- 5 PM.
