William V. Onorato - August 24, 1935 - April 29, 2024

Departed: 04/29/2024 (Broomall)

Obituary Preview: William "Bill" Victor Onorato, Sr. passed away peacefully on April 29th, 2024, at his home in Springfield, PA. He was 88 years old.

Born on August 24th, 1935, in Clifton Heights, Bill was the beloved son of Caroline (nee Rich) and William Onorato. He attended St. Charles Elementary School and West Catholic High School, where he excelled in football and baseball. Even in his formative years, Bill demonstrated a strong work ethic, managing his own paper route. Upon graduating from high school, Bill joined the Army, serving in the Army Security Agency. He received specialized training in cryptanalysis, the science of breaking codes and ciphers. Stationed in Tokyo, he kept a close eye on Russian submarines and decrypted their communications to gather intelligence. Bill also earned a Sharpshooter Marksmanship Badge and had some wild times playing beach football with an octopus!

Returning to the United States, Bill pursued further education at Pennsylvania Military College, where he balanced his studies with various odd jobs to finance his education. This laid the groundwork for a successful career in banking, where he rose to become Controller and Senior Vice President at Continental Bank.

Beyond his work, Bill loved games of all kinds. Whether it was Apples to Apples after Thanksgiving dinner or Pinochle on Tuesday nights, he was always up for a game and some laughs. A die-hard Philadelphia sports fan, he never missed a Phillies game, with Tom McCarthy, LA, and Kruk providing the soundtrack to summers in the Onorato household. Bill stayed active in sports throughout his life, including stints with the Hillside Nursery and Stegmaier softball teams in Clifton Heights, as well as a senior softball league in Aston that he continued to enjoy well into his 70s.

Above all, Bill treasured the moments he shared with his family, who will all carry his memory close to their hearts. He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Judith A. (nee Cox); his children, William V., Jr. (Joelle) and Karen C. Onorato (Mario Zucca); his grandchildren, Anthony and Olivia; and his granddogs, Pepper and Rocco.

Friends and relatives are invited to his viewing on Tuesday, May 7th, 10:00 AM – 10:45 AM, followed by his Funeral Mass at 11:00 AM. Both will take place at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, 2130 Franklin Ave., Morton, PA 19070. An interment will take place at Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery.

Karl F. Pomeroy - December 18, 1937 - April 18, 2024

Departed: 04/18/2024 (Broomall)

Obituary Preview: Karl F. Pomeroy, Sr., 86, of Malvern, PA died peacefully and went home to rest with the Lord on April 18, 2024. Karl was known by all for always being full of life. His smile, sense of humor and the genuine kindness that he showed to others were evident even in his last hours.

Karl was born on December 18, 1937 Lewiston, Maine to parents Arlene Currier Pomeroy and the Honorable Charles A. Pomeroy. Raised in Portland, Maine, Karl graduated from Deering High School and attended Upsala College. As a young man, Karl landed in the insurance industry where he stayed for his entire successful career. Karl worked in sales at Union Mutual Insurance Company, and later moved to be the Regional Sales Manager at Reliance Standard Life Insurance Company where he worked for most of his career. Eventually becoming the Vice President of Sales, Karl was responsible for hiring, training and mentoring his national sales force.  He found enjoyment and purpose in providing guidance and support to new hires. Karl valued community and camaraderie, as he built lifelong friendships with his colleagues. His sense of community was strong, and he took great pleasure in his retirement years driving cancer patients to and from treatments.

In his younger years, Karl was a skilled snow skier employed with the Ski Patrol at Sunday River Ski Resort in Bethel, Maine. He strapped skis to his children at young ages and enjoyed numerous family ski trips together in Maine for years.

Karl’s favorite activity of all was the game of golf. He was a member of Waynesborough Country Club for two decades, and a member of Stonewall Golf Club when it opened. He enjoyed socializing with friends and family as he completed countless rounds of golf. Golfing with his boys and his Dad, “Governor” were some of his most cherished memories.

Above all else, Karl’s greatest love was his family. He shared 42 wonderful years of marriage with the love of his life, Suzanne, until she passed away in June of 2022. Together, Karl and Sue raised 7 children: Kimberly Wolferth (John), Lyn Herzog, Sheryl Herzog Monastero (Benjamin), Jill Pezza (Jim), Cheryl Pomeroy McMahon (Scott), John Pomeroy (Char), Ric Pomeroy (Sharon) and a foster daughter, Dianna Harrison. Karl and Sue were blessed with 21 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. Family gatherings were frequent, and always full of laughs. Poppop, as he was known, was his grandkids’ biggest fan, proudly attending, and rarely missing, school and sporting events, birthday parties and graduation ceremonies. When not surrounded by their family, Karl and Sue loved to travel. Their ventures took them to all parts of the world - Turkey, the Caribbean Islands, Hawaii, and Greece, to name a few.

Karl was a devout Christian and a scholar of the Bible right up to the end of his life. He very much enjoyed the friendship and fellowship he had with his men’s bible study group at Christ Community Church in West Chester and the congregation at Calvary Chapel in Chester Springs.

Karl was preceded in death by his wife Suzanne Pomeroy, parents Arlene and Charles Pomeroy, brother David Pomeroy, sister Charlene Kinnelly, and his foster daughter, Dianna Harrison. Karl is survived by his sister, Pamela Gilliam, his sister-in-law, Marilyn Pomeroy, multiple nieces, nephews, cousins, 7 children, 21 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.

Friends are invited to join the family for a celebration of Karl’s life on May 23, 2024. Visitation from 9:00 - 10:00 am, service immediately following at Christ Community Church, 1190 Phoenixville Pike, West Chester, PA 19380.

All are welcome to share their fond memories of Karl.

Soon Choi - August 19, 1929 - April 14, 2024

Departed: 04/14/2024 (Broomall)

Obituary Preview: Soon, age 94, on April 14, 2024, of Broomall, PA.

Soon was born in Pyung Yang, Korea, as one of 9 siblings, 5 brothers and 3 sisters. She graduated from Seoul University summa cum laude with a major in music. She spent her early adult life in Seoul Korea and immigrated to the United States with her two children in 1977.

Soon is loved and remembered by her son Peter, daughter Kyung Hee (Geoff), her grand children Angella (Wilson), Justin (Mika), Sam, Maddie, and Robert, and her great grandchildren Luna, Averie, and Trevor.

Soon lived in her home in Broomall for 43 years, and in the early 1990s, she began teaching piano to children in the neighborhood. Her teaching became well known in Broomall and the nearby area and it became “Mrs. Choi’s school of Music” She held 16 successful annual recitals. It was one of her proudest achievements and joy of her life. She treasured being visited by her grown students year after year. She was loved dearly.

Vitality, full of energy, big personality…that was Soon, and she was also known for her extreme generosity. She enjoyed playing the piano, knitting, cooking, and spending time with her grandchildren. She was passionate about the world news, politics, and Korean dramas. She loved the latest fashion in everything, hats, sunglasses, shoes, etc. and was always impeccably dressed for all occasions. Her favorite movie was “Gone with the wind”. Perhaps it is because she identified herself with the main character, Scarlett O Hara. She had similar qualities of strength, resilience, and independence. Her favorite quote by Scarlett was “After all, tomorrow is another day”

Her garden was a sacred place where she met with God every day. She faithfully prayed there especially for her children and grandkids. She is a beloved daughter of God and blessed now to be with the Lord.

Her beautiful legacy will live forever in her family.

His seven grandchildren - Stephen A. & Caroline N. Corbo, {Michelle, Jeffrey, Keith (Renee), William (Elizabeth), Sasha- Wilson}, his two great-grandchildren, Kaylee and William Wilson, and his sister, Nancy Bowker- (late Louis), and many nieces and nephews.

Bill was predeceased by his parents, Rita (nee Carman) and William Wilson, and his brother, James J. Wilson.

Bill was born in South Philadelphia on Sept 23, 1933. He grew up in the Glenolden area of Pa and graduated from Glen Nor High School and went on to join the service. As an Army Veteran during the Korean War, he was stationed in Texarkana, Tx.

After his years in the service Bill obtained a degree in mechanical engineering from Drexel University. He simultaneously worked for Westinghouse Electric Co in Exton Pa and Charlotte N.C. for 26 years - (from 1951-1978) in executive plant management, with a perfect record of attendance. While there he also received an Executive MBA from Harvard University in Business Management.

He left Westinghouse in 1978 and went to become President of Pollution Control Systems and Director of Corporate Development at Wheelabrator-Frye Corp. in Pittsburgh, PA.

In 1981 he went to work for United Technologies Corporation - first at their corporate Headquarters in Hartford Connecticut, then he went on to be President of Otis Elevator’s Latin American Operations and then to Otis’ European Transatlantic Operations based out of Paris, France. After 2 years at Otis’s European headquarters in Paris he then transferred back to the states in 1984 and became the CEO of Carrier Corporation in Syracuse, New York. He was the CEO of Carrier until he retired in 1991. After his retirement he consulted for and participated on different companies' boards.

Always a self-made man, from his humble beginnings he was tremendously focused and hard working which resulted in extraordinary success at all levels of his career. He never stopped learning and educating himself and his motto throughout his life was .. ’Genius is 99% hard work’. He met his wife Nancy while they both worked at Westinghouse and they built an extraordinary life together, they travelled all over the world, jetting across continents from Asia, Africa, N. & S. America, Europe, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and more. They built numerous homes in every location his work led them to and generously entertained family and friends all of their lives. He stood alongside some of the greatest business leaders and philanthropists of the late 20th century while working for United Technologies and the experiences were nothing less than extraordinary.  At the same time, folks would see him working in his ripped painters pants and beat up baseball cap at any of his homes, painting or

doing yard work and they would think he was hired help -an image he was thoroughly comfortable with.

His success never went to his head, he had humility and generosity to spare and had time for everyone. He shared his experiences and taught his children and grandchildren by his example how to approach life from the most optimistic perspective, with focus, hard work and study to reach for and achieve their dreams.

Carolyn, the daughter of Cecelia (“Ceal”) Wright and Charles H. Urie was raised in Drexel Hill. She attended St. Bernadette’s and was a graduate of Prendergast High School and Gwynedd Mercy College. She was a gifted and dedicated teacher who taught for several years at Waldren Mercy Academy, Chesterbook Academy and St. Agnes in West Chester.

Daniel Murray, Sr. Maureen Murray RSM and Rev. Kevin Murray; grandmother to Michael, Edward, Caitlin and Kaia; and aunt to numerous nieces and nephews.

She was the ultimate host never failing to offer a sandwich to anyone who walked in the door.

Adele B. Page - November 07, 1936 - March 31, 2024

Departed: 03/31/2024 (Broomall)

Obituary Preview: Adele B. “Debbie” Page

Adele B. Page, affectionately known as “Debbie,” passed away on March 31, 2024, in her home surrounded by her loving family. Debbie and her twin sister “Bobbie” were born to Gus and Lucy Massimiano, on November 7, 1936, in Philadelphia, PA. Debbie grew up in a close-knit Philadelphia family as one of six children. In addition to her parents, she is predeceased by her sisters Lydia, Dorothy and Bobbie and brothers Arthur and Eddie.

Debbie met the love of her life, Hank, at a Naval Academy football game, in 1955. They were married at a formal Naval Wedding, in 1957, the day after Hank graduated from the Naval Academy. They had two children and a life of love, happiness, and many adventures. Family was the foundation of her life.

Debbie is loved and remembered by her husband, Hank; their two children, Chere (Steve) Onofrio and Hank Page (Nick Lanzi); four grandchildren, Paige, Michael, Michelle, and Mickey; and eight great-grandchildren, Drew, Will, Luke, Rishi, Pia, Max, Sadie, and Ellis.

Debbie led a life of leadership and community service. She was president of the Marple Jayceettes, organized modeling shows, and was an active volunteer at several organizations including the Melmark Special Education School, her churches in Newtown Square and Sea Isle City, and at her children’s school. Debbie’s passion for art, entrepreneurship and family led her to buy a small wicker store and turn it into a successful custom furniture & design store called Albert’s Interiors in Newtown Square. At Albert’s, Debbie worked with her two children, Chere and Hank and her husband, Hank, after his career with Sunoco.

Mom was also an amazing artist who designed and drew a cherished Christmas card every year. In her card, she would tell the family story by reflecting on new special family events, her grandchildren, and the births of her great-grandchildren. Friends & family would anticipate receiving the cards and many have saved every card.

Another of Mom’s passions was enjoying Sea Isle City where she and Dad made their permanent home in 2010. She loved to look out on the beach, walk the promenade, create traditions centered around holidays, and make her special crabs & spaghetti dinner every July 4th. They regularly hosted many from the Catholic clergy in their home, where they conducted masses in their living room and would then treat them to a wonderful home cooked Italian dinner. Debbie could also be a little devilish and we would be remiss in not mentioning her love for the casinos. She would play the slot machines for hours, earning her a Borgata Casino “titanium” card.

Debbie loved creating rich traditions, teaching lessons about love, respect, faith and family. We will dearly miss our Mom, beloved wife, Mom Mom and friend.

Visitation will be held on Monday, April 8th, at St. Mary Magdalen, 2400 North Providence Road, in Media, Pennsylvania, at 9:30 AM. A memorial mass will follow immediately, at 11:00 AM.
