William A. Schlamp

William A. Schlamp, known to family and friends as Bill, passed away on May 5, 2026, at the age of 79. He was a kind and devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend whose presence brought warmth and steadiness to those who knew him.

Bill was born on May 8, 1946, in Staten Island, New York, a son of the late Arnold and Jewel Schlamp. He was raised in the Sunnyside neighborhood of Staten Island, where he built the foundation of a life marked by loyalty, hard work, and love of family. It was there that he met the woman who would become his wife, and the two were married on October 11, 1969. They remained in Staten Island until 1978, when they moved to New Monmouth and continued building their life together.

For many years, Bill worked as an electrician and took great pride in his trade. He was a member of IBEW Local 3 out of New York, where he was respected for his dedication and strong work ethic. Through his career, he contributed his skills with quiet dependability and earned the regard of those who worked alongside him. He approached his work with the same steady character that defined every part of his life.

Bill was a sports enthusiast who enjoyed watching games on television and was a loyal Steelers fan. He especially loved attending his grandchildren’s sporting events and cheering them on from the sidelines, where his support was always felt. In his younger years, he could often be found on a golf course, enjoying the game and the time spent outdoors. He also found great satisfaction in working in his yard and gardening, where he took pride in caring for the home and surroundings he loved.

Above all, Bill was a family man. He is survived by his wife of nearly 57 years, Lois Schlamp, and their two children: daughter and son-in-law Kristin and Vincent Gallo, and son and daughter-in-law Bill and Renee Schlamp. He also leaves behind five grandchildren, Sean and his fiancée Karen, Kayla, Vincent, Chloe and Kylie,  as well as his great-granddaughter, Adelynn. His family was the center of his life, and he cherished every moment spent with them. He was predeceased by his sister, Carol Knutsen.

Friends and relatives may pay their respects on Monday, May 11th from 3 - 6 pm at Scott & Kedz Home for Funerals. 
A service will conclude the evening and a private cremation will follow.
