We mourn the passing of Uncle Bobby, a longtime resident of Harlem, who departed this life peacefully at the age of 85 years. Born on February 12, 1940, he was known for his warmth, strong work ethic, and deep roots in the community.

He was a dedicated employee at Pitney Bowes, where he worked for 21 years. A beloved Uncle leaves behind one brother, nieces and Nephews who will carry on his memory . He was predeceased by his one brother (Thomas Pearson) and two sisters (Lynda F. Pearson Dun) and (JoAnne E Johnson), whom he cherished deeply.

He was known for his easy smile and loyal friendship to others. William D. Slade will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Memorial Service will be held Sunday, August 10th at

Grace United Methodist Church
