William Pflugh
William Michael Pflugh, aged 75, passed away on October 5, 2024, in Summerfield, FL. Born on January 5, 1949, Bill, as he was affectionately known, dedicated 35 years of his career to Ford Motor Company in Teterboro, NJ, before retiring.
Bill served in the US Army from 1971 to 1972, a period during which he contributed to his country with the same steadfastness that he exhibited in every aspect of his life. After his military service, he pursued further education at Rockland Community College, having earlier graduated from Paramus High School in 1967.
A man of quiet and gentle demeanor, Bill cherished his leisure time, particularly enjoying golf, playing guitar, listening to music, and attending classic car shows. His love for family was profound, often spending quality time with his nieces and nephews, who brought great joy to his life.
Bill is survived by his sister, Jo-Ellen (Kevin) O'Keefe; brothers, Michael (Madeleine) Pflugh and Richard (Heidi) Pflugh; and sisters-in-law Patricia, Diane, and Toni Anne Pflugh. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ferdinand (Duke) and Margaret Pflugh; brothers, John, James, and Thomas; and sister, Mary Sacco.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Cornerstone Hospice, 601 Mariposa Way, The Villages, FL 32162, a cause close to Bill's heart.

Rest in peace, Bill. You are remembered as kind and friendly through our OLV and high school years.
Mike Danylchuk (1967)
Another of my OLV childhood friends, he was always there with a smile and welcoming presence. We had some great times playing hoops in gym class. I didn't see him after graduation when we each go our separate ways but I will never forget him. RIP Bill.
Mike Tramontano (1967)
Bill lived in my subdivision. We played together in the neighborhood climbing trees, playing street games and generally just have fun the ways kids did in the 50's.
He had many brothers and sisters so he alwys looked after them. His older brother, John, and I played baseball in the youth leagues. Both Bill and John were fun to be around. RIP to both of them.
Cornelius (Neal) Nolan (1967)
Bill and I were friends in OLV, PHS and even into college. We lost track of each other in the mid 70s. So sorry to hear of his passing. I'll remember him as a good friend and a very good athlete. RIP Bill!
Herbert Schumm (1967)
I last saw Bill in 1972. I was in the Army assigned to the Air Defense A Battery in Buedingen, Germany. We were playing flag football against C Battery; as a player chased me out of bounds he exclaimed, "You're Herb Schumm!" to which I replied, "You're Bill Pflugh!" We were assigned to the same unit! We often would cross paths for the next few months until he was discharged back to the States. It was good to see a friend from PHS far from home.
