William J. Mathias Sr.
William J. Mathias, Sr., 74, of Jamison, passed away April 2, 2024. He was the beloved husband of the late Janice J. Mathias, who passed away in 2016.
Born November 30, 1949 in Philadelphia, he was a son of the late John J. and Marie (DeHaven) Mathias.
During retirement, Bill enjoyed driving his Jeep and trailering his Sea Ray to the Delaware river to go boating. It was a boat he bought on a whim since he jokingly was instructed by his wife not to arrive home without a boat! He also enjoyed spending time with family, along with creating and building items with wood and metal. Through the years he and his grandson became avid Lego enthusiasts and he regularly greeted his grandson with "The claw". Bill was often found sneaking loads treats to his grandpets Pepper (late), Rufus, Amelia, and Jem. He enjoyed his skydiving adventure and had many tales to tell family and friends!
Survivors include two children, William J. Mathias, Jr. (Jennifer) and Kristin Mathias; a grandson, Billy Mathias III; four siblings, Re, Terri, Debbie, and Scotty; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his brother, Johny.
