Verrochi, William Anthony (Bill), born in Boston, MA, passed away peacefully at his home in Manasquan, NJ on July 16, 20105, surrounded by his loving wife and daughters. He was 93 years old. After serving in the United States Army during World War II for 30 months in North Africa and Italy as a 1st Lieutenant, CE, Bill returned to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering.
Bill retired from the GPU System in 1986, after a 25-year career with the company, as president and COO of Jersey Central Power & Light Company.

Afterward he served in the New Jersey State Jersey in Trenton, first as consultant and deputy commissioner at the Department of Community Affairs and then as director, Office of Business and Industrial Relations at the Department of Environmental Protection. Bill's civic affiliations included serving as a trustee for the College of Saint Elizabeth, Ocean Medical Center, Ocean Medical Center Foundation and the Tri-County Scholarship Fund; as director of the Memorial Investment Corporation of the Morristown memorial Hospital, Morris County Chamber of Commerce, Morris County Urban League and the United Way of Morris County; and as an advisory board member for the Academy of Saint Elizabeth, the Junior League of Morristown, and the NJ Conservation Lab at Princeton University. He served as a lector at the Sacred Heart Church, Bay Head and was a member of the Manasquan River Golf Club where he chaired the Building and Planning Committee in the early 1990's. Bill was an avid golfer, a man who enjoyed a game of bridge, a designer and woodworker, and a talented artist. He will be remembered by his family and friends for his kindness, generosity, warm sense of humor, and genuine interest in the human race.
He is survived by his wife of 61 survived, Gloria Todino Verrochi, his four daughters, Elizabeth McDonald and husband John McDonald, Suzanne Verrochi, Kathryn Verrochi, and Barbara Verrochi; and three grandsons, William McDonald, Miles McDonald, and Workneh Getasew.

"Of the five children of Antonio and Maria Verrochi, the only surviving child at this time is William (Uncle Bill). He and Aunt Gloria are alive and well at their beautiful home in Point Pleasant, New Jersey. Uncle Bill is our family patriarch, and can be counted on for advice (even if we do not like it) and a pat on the back when deserved - but only when deserved. He's a great guy who worked hard, and with Aunt Gloria raised 4 wonderful kids." -- Marilyn LaRosa, September 3, 2008 [Note: William passed awai in 2015.] [1, 2]
- (Research):Sonia Verrochi's notes suggest that William married Helen. [4]
