William J. Dasher Jr.'s Obituary
William J. Dasher Jr, 83, formerly of Lebanon, gained his angel wings on August 11, 2021 at Frey Village, Middletown.
Born on April 29, 1938, he was the son of the late William Dasher Sr. and Cora (Keath) Dasher of Lebanon.
Bill graduated from Lebanon High School in 1956 and immediately enlisted in the United States Navy where he served his time on the USS Intrepid.
After returning from the Navy, Bill worked for and retired from Wilsbach Distributor in Harrisburg. He enjoyed his retirement by being active in many of the musicals at the Lebanon Community Theater and working part-time at Hershey Chocolate World.
Bill was known for being very social and active; he loved to entertain, be with people, sing and eat. He enjoyed an occasional Manhatten and was an avid wine maker. Backyard BBQ's and being with family were a favorite pastime of Bill's. He was a very kind, loving, simple, gentle and fun loving man who will be missed by all who knew him.
He is preceded in death by his former wife, Orvilla (Myers) Dasher of Lebanon.
Bill is survived by his devoted wife, Maxine (Santarelli) Dasher of Harrisburg, three children; Kim Snyder and husband Keith of Delaware, Jami Rothgaber of Lebanon, Jim Dasher and wife Barbara of Myerstown, 6 grandchildren and 4 great grandsons.
A celebration of Bill's life will be held on Saturday, August 14, 2021 at Thompson Funeral Home, 126 South 9th Street, Lebanon at 11 am. A viewing will be held one hour prior and burial will be at Ebenezer Cemetery following the service.
Bill's family would like to thank the staff at Frey Village, particularly Helen Gutshall, RN for her attentiveness and compassion over the past 3 years.
