William C. Dahling
November 25, 1926 — September 11, 2012
William C. Dahling, 85, of Perkasie, formerly of Cape Coral, Florida and Philadelphia, passed away Tuesday, September 11, 2012, at Lehigh Valley Hospital - Cedar Crest, Salisbury Township. He was the beloved husband of Ruth E. (Kunze) Dahling for 65 years.
Born in Philadelphia, he was the son of the late August and Caroline (Knoller) Dahling.
Mr. Dahling was a U.S. Navy veteran, serving during the closing months of World War II. Bill was always particularly proud of his military service to our country.
Bill had been employed with Bond Bread, formerly the General Baking Company, of Philadelphia, for over 30 years. He later had been self-employed as a general handyman in Northeast Philadelphia.
The Dahlings moved to Cape Coral, Florida, in 1996, returning to Pennsylvania earlier this year.
A real “people-person,” Bill loved to walk and enjoyed doing jigsaw puzzles. He liked the changing of the seasons and always looked forward to Autumn. He especially loved spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandson.
In addition to his wife Ruth, he is survived by his two daughters: Sharan Havel, of Holland; Arlene Nolfi and her husband, Edward, of Sellersville; three grandchildren: Kellie Marshall and her husband, Daniel; Robert Kuehne, III, all of Sellersville; Alexandra Smith and her husband, Matthew, of Broomfield, Colorado; a great-grandson, Zachary Marshall, of Sellersville; two sisters: Alice Zaleski, of Elizabethtown; Mildred Bates and her husband, Charles, of Avalon, New Jersey; and his beloved dogs, “Benjie” and “Mollie.”
There are no calling hours.
