Condolence: I remember Bill. He was an on-again, off-again part of my childhood in old East Paterson, New Jersey. I knew his parents and his sister, Martha as his home was a short distance from that of my best friend at the corner of Echo Place and Henry Street. His was a very imposing presence whenever he was close at hand. This fit in well with his predilection toward football and sports-related activities. I only just learned of his passing today as I was researching the good old days in the town where I spent the happiest period of my life. My sincere, albeit belated condolences to his entire family. Rest in peace, Bill.

Condolence: To Martha and family. Thinking of you at this sad time. With my sincere sympathy, Ann

Condolence: Bill, you were a great guy . So sad to hear of your passing. God Bless you Bill Rest in Peace

Condolence: My condolences to Billy's Family. Billy was a great friend and a great teammate. Billy was one of the all-time great athletes from East Paterson/Elmwood Park. I remember as a 7th grader watching #33 along with his running mate Bob Nagle beat up on much larger schools. RIP Billy.

Condolence: Rest In Peace Bill.

Condolence: I send my deepest sympathy to Bill's entire family. In high school, Bill was a man among boys, and all who really knew him, liked him. He was a great competitor and a very funny guy. Heaven just admitted the ultimate team mate. May God bless the Pedhoretzky Family. Rest in Peace, Billy.

Condolence: I was saddened to hear of Billy's passing. My sister Pat (Bomber Cheerleader) and I benefited from the entire Pedhoretzky family's dedication to East Paterson sports. Billy was a fantastic 3 Sport athlete, outstanding EP Hall of Fame member and someone that you enjoyed being around. I will save a seat for him at the next HOF dinner. May God Bless him and comfort his family and friends.

Condolence: My sincere condolences to the family of Bill for their loss. I lived on Echo Place and played football with Bill in the those memorable years when Bill was one of the STARS on the EP football team that won the many state championships. Bill's dad also coached me on several baseball teams. Steven...as I'm sure you are aware your dad was not just a very good football player..he was unbelievable. He had some injuries that prevented him from receiving all of the accolades that he certainly deserved. I had not seen Bill for probably 30 years until I met him at the EP Hall of Fame dinner several years ago. It was great seeing him after so many years. He was bigger than life even then. I'm sure he will be sorely missed. You and your family are in our prayers.
