William was an incredibly kind and caring person. He touched the lives of so many people who were lucky to meet him. He had the greatest sense of humor and incredible quick wit combined with an extreme intelligence. He had a love for all animals (especially his beloved turtle Plato). He was a fantastic fisherman which was one of his many passions.
William is survived by his daughter, Kristin Dursi and her husband John of Newburgh; and grandchildren, Benjamin Michael Dursi, Edward William Dematteis, and Elizabeth Lynn Dematteis. In addition to his parents he was predeceased by his wife, Eloise, his daughter, Susan Heffron Dematteis, his sister, Mary Gail Hollock.
