Bill will be dearly missed. He spent time as a young guy at my family home in Pilgrum Gardens. I did not know him then. My sisters had a lot of friends and I spent most of my teenage years hanging out at the Brookside bowling alley and the Brookside shopping center and McDonalds in Newark. It was a time when you never knew what was going to happen next. I served in the US Army as a helicopter in Vietnam 1969-1970. After retiring I started working at the VA helping Vets get the benefits they deserve. I few years ago a guy came into my office needing help with his benefits. He sat down with my office partner he got his case started. In a few minutes this guy turned around to be and asked “are you Rick Lovekin”. I said yes. He said the he didn’t think I knew him but he dated my sister Donna. He proceeded to tell me a story of when he was at my families house seeing Donna and needed a ride home. I told him to hope into my ’65 mustang and I would take him home. This was before seatbelts. He told me that I gave him the thrill of his life and was glad he got home alive and that next time he will walk. I was glad to meet Bill again and my partner and me worked hard to get him his benefits and at least make his life a little better.
We Lovekins will all miss you very much Bill

I am so sorry to hear of Billy’s passing. This must be the same Billy I knew at Christiana HS where we graduated together in 1970. We played in our first band together called The Village Outcasts and we rehearsed in Billy’s home in the living room. If this is not the same Billy, then I apologize. I would sure like to hear from a family member. I left a message and my phone number with the funeral home. Blessings!!
