William "Bill" C. Dennon was a retired long-haul truck driver, United States Army veteran and longtime resident of Folsom, Pennsylvania, who died on October 14, 2026, at the age of 93. He was not a public figure in the conventional sense of politics, entertainment or business, and no Wikipedia page or major news obituary exists for him. His life is documented through the obituary published by O'Leary Funeral Home of Springfield, Pennsylvania, which this page draws on, and he is remembered here because, like every life, his mattered to the people who knew him.
Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Glen Dennon and Viola Chuck, Bill eventually settled in the Delaware County area of Pennsylvania. He served his country in the United States Army before building a working life on the road. For 43 years he drove a truck as a member of the Teamsters Union, a career that spanned more than four decades and defined much of his working identity.
Outside of work, Bill was deeply involved in his Catholic faith community. He was an active member of the Knights of Columbus Peace Council in Crum Lynne, Pennsylvania, where he rose to the rank of Fourth Degree Knight, the organization's highest honor. He was also an avid golfer who enjoyed his time on the course well into his later years.
Those who knew Bill describe him as a quiet, gentle man with kind eyes, whose greatest pride was his family. He was married to Sarah "Sally" Dennon for 63 years until her death in 2023, and he was known for showing up on the sidelines of his grandchildren's games and activities, cheering them on. He was survived by his four children, Bill Dennon, Andy Dennon, Mark Dennon and Maureen Beddis, along with eleven grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Bill Dennon passed away peacefully on October 14, 2026, in Folsom, Pennsylvania, two months after his wife's death. His family announced his passing through an obituary published by O'Leary Funeral Home, which has served families in the Delaware County and Philadelphia area for decades. No cause of death was made public, and details of funeral or memorial services have not yet been confirmed beyond the published obituary notice.
