William Charles Haid Jr., 77, of Avondale, died Sunday, Oct. 25, at Christiana Hospital after a long battle with cancer. Bill was the loving husband of Joanne Mary Haid (Madden) and they shared 54 years of happiness together.
In addition to his wife, Joanne, Bill is survived by his son William Charles Haid III and his wife Susan Haid (Carman). Bill was the doting grandfather to Amanda Haid and Thomas Haid and never missed an opportunity to spoil them.

He is survived by his three sisters, Jane Wisniewski, Andrea Thomas, and Susan Brennan, and many adored nieces and nephews.
Bill graduated from Father Judge High School and continued his education at Villanova University. After college, he served in the Army National Guard for six years. His studies led him to a career as a recreation therapist for the state of Pennsylvania.
Bill loved watching his Philadelphia sports teams and was an avid fan of Villanova basketball.
