William Anthony Wolfe "Bill" was born on April 2, 1937 in Camden, New Jersey to Helen and Herman Wolfe. Bill is survived by his wife Shirley; son Sherman Banker Lauren; daughter Tammy Reeck Mark and grandchildren Toby Coberly Jamie, Eve Hill Ryan, Ashley Bird and Roxanne Banker. In addition Bill leaves Great Granddaughter Mya Bird and great grandson Hunter Hill. Bill was an only child who was loved and adored by his parents and his maiden aunts... They spent a lot of time teaching Bill and thus he had a great early childhood education. Bill spent his early life in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania where he went through his high school years. He graduated from Drexel University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering. He began his engineering career at RCA in Moorestown, N.J. and then lent his expertise to several firms before going to a small start-up company called Data Media where Bill became very helpful in the success of this small company. In 1980 Bill met the love of his life Shirley and they were married later that year. They moved to the Phoenix area and Bill became a Reliability Group Leader for Loral Defense System in Litchfield Park. Bill then became involved in Real Estate in the Sun City areas. Bill was very active in Boy Scouts in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. He worked with the Cavitans doing whatever needed to be done. He served as President of the Sun City Board of Realtors and was a member of the Sun City Prides. He also was active in his church, First United Methodist Church Sun City, serving Financial Secretary. But Bill's greatest joy was becoming an instant dad, grandfather and great grandfather. After being a bachelor for many years he adored his new instant family and was there for all of them sharing his love. Bill had a great passion for deer hunting and he was crazy about ice hockey. He was a playful guy with a great sense of humor. Heaven must be a fun place today with Bill Wolfe there...
