A proud Brooklyn native, he spent most of his life there, carrying with him the values of family, loyalty, and hard work that defined his character.

William honorably served his country in the United States Marine Corps, a commitment he held with great pride throughout his life.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Jacquelyne (née Pons) Browarek. This May would have marked their 65th wedding anniversary, a testament to a lifetime of love and devotion. William was a true family man who cherished time spent with those he loved most.

Proud father of Jeannie (Patrick) and Lynn (Christopher), he was the loving grandfather of Kristen (Michael), Dana (Shaun), Danielle (Brendan), and Jason, and the cherished great-grandfather of Madison, MJ, and Michael. Cherished brother of Joan (the late Don.)

He will be remembered for his vibrant personality, his love of karaoke, and his enjoyment of celebrating life with family and friends. His warmth, humor, and spirited nature brought joy to all who knew him.
