STRUTHERS -- William J. Sheridan, 96, passed away at home on Thursday, Aug. 6, 2026.
William "Bill" was born on Nov. 29, 1929, in Youngstown, the son of the late Geoffrey and Florence Sheridan.
Bill was a proud member of the United States Army, serving as a paratrooper.
He was employed by the Youngstown Sheet and Tube for 28 years, working most of his time in the Hot Strip as a slab pusher and then in the Seamless Pipe Mill until his early retirement.
Bill was a jokester at heart, always trying to get a laugh and a smile. Known for his pie-baking abilities and his pizza-making skills, the family was always guaranteed a fresh slice of apple pie with coffee or a late-night pizza party to enjoy. Then there were the backyard whiffle ball games that sometimes ended up with broken windows, which Dad never complained about; it was all about having fun. An avid summertime vegetable gardener, the table was always filled with homegrown summertime treats.
Bill leaves to cherish the memory, his wife of 73 years, Lee Bernard Sheridan; sons, Bill (Katie) Sheridan, Jim Sheridan and his companion of 23 years, Mary Misier, and Michael (Kathy) Sheridan; grandchildren, Jessica, Stephen, John, Ella and Michael; great-grandchildren, Maisie, Matilda and Nathan; and many nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, Bill was preceded in death by his sisters, Ruth Elms and Alice Fair; brothers, Ed Sheridan and Wallace Sheridan; and grandchild, Billy Sheridan.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Wilkins for his time and dedication in assisting with medications and consultations.
A special thank you to Hospice Care -- Jennifer, Lexie and Scott.
Visitation will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2026, at Clemente Funeral Home in Struthers.
