WILLIAM JAMES REID (1947-1979)
Bill Reid was born in Philadelphia on October 30, 1947.
Bill was an excellent cook, starting with his after-school restaurant job at the Carriage House restaurant in Hatboro. He worked there full time all through high school.
A chubby guy with a great sense of humor, Bill liked nothing better than hanging out with his friends- at the Billiard Ball, at Burdick’s, or behind the Hatboro Pool. He was a loyal friend who was known as the guy who would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.
Card playing at his place, or Tom Dillon’s house; a quick game of touch football behind the Robert Bruce Apartments, or an impromptu party, Bill was always up for a good time.
His crazy sense of humor was legendary. He arrived to Study Hall one time with a blow up doll.
He died in Buckingham in February 1979. Many high school friends attended his funeral.

Bill was a great guy and friend. He worked as a cook at the restuarant in Hatboro with many of his classmates. I remember Bill's great sense of humor, his Ford Torino GT, parties and playing cards at his place. I attended his funeral in the early 80's and many of his high school friends were on hand to pay their respects.
