William “Bill” Truex, 78 of Brielle, NJ and Mendon, VT passed away to his Lord at Sunnyside Manor Assisted Living, Wall on September 19, 2018 surrounded by his loving family after a long battle with brain cancer. Bill was adopted as an infant through Catholic Charities by Fred and Clara (Wynn) Truex of Brielle. He attended St Margaret’s in Spring Lake and Brielle Grammar School, Manasquan High School, and also Glassboro College (Rowan) in South Jersey. With humble beginnings and hard work he formed Truex Abstract, Inc. a title insurance agency in Manasquan which his sons now operate. Bill loved his church of St. Denis, Manasquan and Our Lady of the Mountains, Killington, VT. He made many friends in both places. He and his wife Doris were avid skiers for over 50 years. Bill loved to cycle on “Old Duke” as he called his bike; he swam all summer in the pool and fished on his boat “The Dar-Lyn” of which he wished he could be at the helm one more time. Bill and Doris belonged to Pico Ski Club for many years as well as the 70+ Ski Club; they are lifetime members of the Ocean Ski Club, NJ, and until recently were long time members of Manasquan River Golf and Country Club.

Bill is survived by his beloved wife of 57 years Doris (nee Kessler) Truex of Brielle; his loving sons Fred and his wife Lynne Truex of Brick and Felix and his husband Bill of Interlaken, NJ and his loving grandson Matthew Truex of North Hollywood, CA.
