William Calderaro

May 13, 1949 - July 14, 2020

Bill was born and raised in Drexel Hill, PA. He graduated from Upper Darby High School and served in the United States Navy, before beginning his career as an automotive mechanic. Bill loved all things cars. He was well known for his talents with imported vehicles, particularly his favorite – Mercedes Benz. Later in his career, he moved from the mechanical side to restoration, where he built and restored some magnificent models. When not tinkering with a car, he could be found attending a race or watching one on television. His other passion was music – particularly classic rock. At one time, he boasted a vinyl collection that topped more than 1,000 albums and a concert ticket portfolio that was the envy of many. Any evening spent with Bill included plenty of music, libations, and entertaining shenanigans. Bill is survived by his three children, Kerrie, Kelly, and Bill, five grandchildren, his brother Raymond and his sister, Theresa. He was predeceased by his mother, Theresa, and his father Bill (Pop), with whom we are sure he is overjoyed to be reunited with. The family would like to extend a special thank you to Bill’s long-time friends, Tom and Ann Clark, for their kindness and love during his time in TN.
