Daily News | William A. Whiteside Jr, longtime labor attorney, volunteer leader, and star athlete, has died at 93
William A. Whiteside Jr., 93, of Ocean City, retired labor attorney and head of the labor and employment law department at Fox Rothschild, tireless volunteer leader for the Police Athletic League and Wissahickon Skating Club, former star athlete and coach at La Salle College High School, and veteran, died Sunday, Dec. 4, of cardiopulmonary arrest at his home.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from the University of Notre Dame in 1951, was a backup quarterback and defensive back on its 1949 undefeated national championship football team, and was awarded a silver medal in 1950 for being “outstanding in military achievement, scholastic achievement, and character” as a junior in the school’s Air Reserve Officers Training Corps.
He met Eileen Ferrick, also from Germantown, on the boardwalk in Ocean City. They married in 1954, lived in Lafayette Hill and Cheltenham Township, and had sons Bill III, Mike, Gump, and Rick, and daughters Mary and Muffin. His wife and son Rick died earlier. “My father had no aspirations in Rochester other than to be an avid fan and a supportive father,” said his son, Bill. “But his enthusiasm and personality naturally led to a much deeper immersion. I never heard my dad use these specific words, but one of the big lessons I learned from him is: don’t be a bystander.”
