William F. Jose Jr. "Bill" passed away suddenly on October 21, 2023. Age 72. He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Ruth Jose. Beloved husband of Nancy (nee Osler) for 45 years. Devoted father of Trisha L. Bryson (Timothy), Stephanie A. Hohn (Jared) and Kyle W. Jose (Sarah). Loving Pop-Pop of Connor, Tanner, Claire, Tessa, Avery, and Saylor. Dear brother of Michael R. Jose (Mary Anne) and Carol A. McDougall (Robert). Adored uncle to many nieces and nephews.
Bill was a bright light, a gentle and caring man. He was a natural at providing comfort to anyone in need of a friendly face and a consistent source of humor and goodwill to everyone in his life. Whether you met him once or knew him for a lifetime, Bill always gave you his best. He grew up in a loving home on Dettmar Terrace in Runnemede, New Jersey, and often spoke fondly about his childhood memories. In Runnemede, he met his wife, Nancy, and they would go on to raise three children and build a life together. There was nothing that Bill loved more in this world than supporting his family in all endeavors. He also loved his morning Facetimes with his grandchildren and was a constant presence at baseball games, school plays, and dance recitals. From the Broad Street Bullies to Johnny Callison, he was a lifelong fan of all Philadelphia sports and was always happy to talk about last night's game or the next season's potential. He was also never one to turn down a homemade brownie, chocolate chip cookie, or milkshake. A dedicated and loyal employee of TW Metals (formerly known as Tubesales) for over forty years before his retirement, Bill forged lifelong friendships at work and took immense pride in what he did.

Just a few word expressing my sincere condolences to the family. Billy was a great guy and we spent a lot of time on Sheaperd Ave. playing basketball and at the RYAA plying baseball. Our lives went separate ways but am glad his life was a happy and prosperous one! 🙏🌷❤️
My sincere condolences to the surviving family members of my friend and fellow employee of TW Metals. It was a pleasure to work with Bill through my 12 years of employment at TW Metals until my retirement in 2015. We enjoyed having lunch together over the years to discuss everything under the sun, including business matters. I will miss you, until we meet again someday.
