William Evans Bardusch Jr. ’39

Bill died Feb. 3, 2007, of metastatic bladder cancer at Overbrook Hospital in Summit, N.J. He had been living in nearby Madison for the past 40 years.

Bill received a law degree from Columbia in 1942. During a three-year stint in the Army’s Counter Intelligence Corps, he served in Europe and earned five Battle Stars. His 65-year career as an attorney began with Johnson & Bardusch in New York. In 1970 he moved the firm to Morristown, N.J. In later years he sold his building to Dillon, Bitar & Luther, but kept an office there and remained an independent counsel. He was a member of the Morrow Memorial United Methodist Church in Maplewood.

Always a man of quiet good humor, he told us his outside activities centered around family and friends. In our 50th-year book he described his interests as gardening, losing weight, and pretending to be athletic.

Bill’s second wife, Staunton, predeceased him in 1997. He is survived by his first wife, Delores; his children, Linwood Kenneally, Edward Evans Bardusch, Staunton Snyder, and Deborah Coblentz; and four grandchildren. To his loving family, we extend our sincere sympathy.
