         The Passing of William J. Madonna

 The Bronx, NY - William J. Madonna, 55, of the Bronx died suddenly Friday, June 10th at his home.

 

He was born in Mount Kisco, New York on October 6, 1961. He was raised in Yorktown Heights and earned his Bachelor of Science from Northeastern University in Boston. He later graduated from the New England School of Law where he received his Juris Doctorate.

 

Will, as he was fondly known, began his legal career in the office of Corporation Counsel of the City of New York Law Department and later joined the Bronx District Attorney's Office as a prosecutor. Since 1994 he has maintained a successful private practice in the Morris Park section of the Bronx. He was a zealous advocate for all of his many clients. Will was an active community member, especially in his role as chief counsel to local assemblyman, Mark Gjonaj.

 

Will leaves behind his deeply beloved sons, Matthew and Eric as well as his loving parents, Phyllis and Nicholas. He is survived by his siblings, Susann, Joan, and Robert. He leaves behind several nieces and nephews and an entire legal community. His smile, contagious laugh, and quick wit will be missed dearly by all.
