William Ronald Duignan, Jr.

William R. Duignan Jr., born July 4, 1964, of Fishtown, Philadelphia, PA, passed away far too soon on November 10, 2025. Bill was a loving husband, father, and brother whose, quick sarcastic wit, and big heart made him unforgettable to everyone who knew him.

He is deeply missed by his wife Karen Duignan (Stein); his children John Walczak, Kristin Gladd (Duignan), Michael Walczak, and Caitlin Anspach (Duignan); his sons-in-law Brian Gladd and Richard Anspach; and his three grandchildren, who brought him endless joy—Lucas O'Neal, Callan Gladd, and Aida Gladd. He is also survived by his siblings Matthew Duignan (Maria), Jennifer Shane (Duignan), and Karen Ankielewicz (Meehan) (Bryan) and many loving cousins and friends.

Bill's humor, his love for his family, and the memories he leaves behind will stay with us forever.
