It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of William Lawrence Presti, who left us peacefully on May 29, 2025, at the age of 86. Born on October 7, 1938, in Passaic, New Jersey to Samuel & Dorothy (nee Meyers) Presti, William was a beloved husband, father, and grandfather whose gentle spirit and unwavering kindness left an indelible mark on all who knew him.
William proudly served in the United States Air Force, a testament to his dedication and love for his country. Following his military service, he built a commendable career as a Transportation Manager at Becton Dickinson, where he was respected for his work ethic and commitment to excellence.
As a devoted family man, William cherished his wife, Beverly Presti, with whom he shared a life filled with love and laughter. He is also survived by his three loving children, Christine A. and her husband Steven Parisi, Robert W. and his wife Jane Presti, and William S. and his wife Laura Presti, as well as his beloved grandchildren, Nicholas Parisi, Christopher Parisi, Rebecca Presti, and Robert Presti. He also leaves behind his dear brother, Samuel Presti. William's family was his pride and joy, and he always stretched out a loving hand to support and guide them.
May he rest in peace, reunited with those who have gone before him, and may his legacy of love continue to inspire us all.
