Coast Guard Veteran, avid collector, beloved father and grandfather

William H Cleverley, age 87, of Morgan passed away peacefully Thursday September 24th. Born in Brooklyn, New York, he served in the U.S. Coast Guard, attended Wagner College, and lived his adult life in Morgan, New Jersey. He was a top sales engineer for the Dodge Newark Supply Company for more than 40 years. Bill enjoyed collecting antique guns and coins. You may have encountered him working at local Voting Polls. He was also a member of N.A.R.F.E., the Civil War Club, and the Sayreville Thursday Club. Bill was also a regular parishioner of Saint Mary’s Church of South Amboy.

His wife LaVerne passed on several years before him, but was always in his thoughts, as well as his older brother Edward. He enjoyed spending time with his son Kip, his daughter-in-law Diane, and his grandchildren, Quinn and Kaylee.
He was a good man, loved my many and we will miss him dearly.
