Adams 1965 William Daddio

Condolences

DADDIO WILLIAM "BILL" Of Fox Chapel, passed away Tuesday, April 25, 2017, at the age of 69. After many years of battling cancer, it was time to surrender and move on to the next chapter. Bill was predeceased by his father, Louis William "Bill" Daddio, all American football player, coach, and scout and his mother, Angella Ross Daddio. He is survived by his sister, Saundra of Asheville, NC; long time family friend, Kathy Caine, also of Asheville; and MANY cousins, nieces, nephews and -of course- friends. Born in Meadville, PA July 16, 1947, Bill had a full life. He lived in West Lafayette as well as South Bend, Indiana, but he called Pittsburgh home. He graduated from John Adams High School in South Bend and was a 1969 graduate of The University of Notre Dame with a BBA in Accounting. He started his career at Peat Marwick Mitchell but continued on to a long career at WTAE - Fox Sports, where he found his stride. During his short life, Bill had the opportunity to serve his country in the National Guard. He was an accomplished sportsman having won the Pittsburgh Field Club Golf Championship in 1981. Bill was an all around lover of sports, especially University of Pittsburgh sports! He could often be found cheering the horses around the track, or most days at the Field Club playing a few rounds of Gin with his buddies or at Oakmont Country Club engaged in a lively game of Bridge. As a younger man, his family remembers how much he loved to listen and dance to Motown music. Bill was a huge fan of old movies - especially anything John Wayne. He was well loved and had many lifelong friends that included the Great 8! Because Bill had a great love for children and golf, his choice for donations is the First Tee of Pittsburgh. Even though there were so many family members, he was Aunt Wanda's favorite nephew! Because he "...couldn't find a good place to eat," we will all be on the lookout for a good restaurant that he would like... Finally! Bill was TRULY an all around good guy! He will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him. There will be no visitation. Funeral and Interment will be private. Arrangements by JOHN A. FREYVOGEL SONS, INC. (freyvogelfuneralhome.com).
