William S. Kretschmer Jr. Obituary

We are sad to announce that on July 31, 2024 we had to say goodbye to William S. Kretschmer Jr. of New Providence, New Jersey, born in East Orange, New Jersey. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As William departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though William may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy William leaves behind.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Dolores Kretschmer, and William S. Kretschmer, Sr.; and his son William S. Kretschmer, III. He is survived by: his wife Deborah; his children, Joseph R. Kretchmer and Lisa M. Kretschmer; his grandson Crosby Smith-Kretschmer; and his siblings, Kevin Kretschmer and Karyn Callaghan.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations in his memory to Disabled American Veterans (http://www.dav.org), Wounded Warrior Project (http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org) or Bayada Hospice (http://www.bayada.com).
