PITTINOS, WILLIAM PITTINOS, WILLIAM IRWIN III - of Atlantic City, known to his family and many friends as Bill, passed away peacefully at the age of 52 from complications arising from stomach cancer on Saturday, April 17, 2010 at Cooper Hospital in Camden, NJ surrounded by his loving family. Bill was a local boy born on June 27, 1957 in Somers Point, to William and Mary Bloom Pittinos. He remained in the area he loved so much for his entire life as a confirmed bachelor who appears to have always had a woman on his arm and in his life. Bill realized his passion for cooking at an early age and began his culinary career as a teenager at the Smithville Inn. Eventually, Bill became a well-respected relief cook at Harrahs' - Bill enjoyed his profession thoroughly and cared deeply for his work family at Polistina's Restaurant. An avid Scrabble player who competed nationally at one point, Bill liked nothing more than sitting down with his brother-in-law, Mike Davis, or other worthy adversary to play the game and score as many bingos as possible. He enjoyed hunting, trapping and fishing in his youth. Bill was a grateful friend of Bill W. He is survived by: his sisters and brothers-in-law, Mary and Leonard Artz or Silver Spring, MD and Elizabeth and Michael Davis of Ventnor, his niece and nephew, Erin and Joseph Charles of Atlantic City; his nephew James Davis of Ventnor; his niece, Mary Davis of Lake Worth, FL and his Morgan cousins: Linda, Suzanne, Kimble, Nelson, Mark and Gregory. Friends and family are invited to participate in a celebration of Bill's life on Wednesday, April 21, 2010 at 11:00 AM at Angelo's Fairmount Tavern, 2300 Fairmount Avenue, Atlantic City. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Jean Webster's Kitchen, P.O. Box 5146, Atlantic City 08404-5146.
