William "Bill" H. McAllister, Jr.

William “Bill” H. McAllister, Jr. lost his 10-year battle with emphysema/COPD on Sunday, April 29, 2018 at the age of 63.  He was a fighter until the end.

Born in Trenton, Bill was a lifelong resident of Morrisville.  He was a 1972 graduate of Morrisville High School as well as Pennco Tech and Mercer Co. Tech School.  He was a master plumber by trade and worked tirelessly every day until his health wouldn’t allow it any longer.

Bill had a deep laugh, quick wit, and was a lover of all sports.  He was a lifelong, diehard Eagles, Phillies, and 76ers fan, so this was a great year indeed.  Bill was also passionate about sprint cars, NASCAR and slot car racing.  He was a great fisherman as well.

His greatest joy, though, was watching his son, Billy, play many years of soccer, graduate high school with honors, and excel at St. Joseph’s University where he will soon graduate.

Bill was preceded in death by his parents, William Sr. and Nancy L. (Sullivan) McAllister, and his mother-in-law Marguerite P. (Dougherty) Hensor.  Left to cherish his memory are his beloved wife of 25 years, best friend, and true love, Karen (Hensor) McAllister, his cherished son William “Billy” III, his dog Rex, daughter Kimberly, siblings Jane Clark (Roger), Ginger McAllister-Yusko (Mick), Darrell McAllister (Gail), Charles McAllister (Carol), sisters and brothers-in-law Holly Cobb, Joyce Hagan (Mike), Donna Hensor (Dino Finocchiaro) and one of his biggest supporters, father-in-law and friend Morton “Skeets” Hensor, along with many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

A Memorial Mass will be celebrated at 11 AM on Saturday, May 5, 2018 at St. John the Evangelist Church, 752 Big Oak Rd., Morrisville, PA, where family and friends are invited to call from 9 AM until time of Mass.  All are welcome to a luncheon following Mass.  His interment will be held privately.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions, in Bill’s name, may be made to Villalobos Rescue Center at www.vrcpitbull.com or the National Emphysema Foundation at www.emphysemafoundation.org.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the J. Allen Hooper Funeral Chapel, Morrisville, PA.
