William P. Fedullo, Esq.

Board Member, Immediate Past Chair

On February 7, 2021, we lost a treasured friend and leader,  William “Bill” Fedullo. Bill was an ardent advocate, former board chair, longtime board member and champion for SeniorLAW Center.
Bill was an ardent supporter of SeniorLAW Center in his role as board member and board chair, contributing immeasurably to the success of our work through his many contributions and generosity, as well as his extraordinary ability to speak and share beautifully about the plight of seniors in poverty. In speaking of his role as a board member, Bill once said, “I think part of our mission is to be constant cheerleaders for SLC,” a role which he took to heart in raising support from friends and acquaintances across the state of Pennsylvania and to tell the stories of homelessness, abuse and crisis. Bill was passionate about the struggles of those at both ends of the life cycle, kids and older people, and it was a privilege to work with him to support the children of the Philadelphia School District during his tenure as Chancellor of the Philadelphia Bar Association and beyond, and to raise visibility of our work for grandparents raising grandchildren. He and Shelli both served as Bar Chancellor and also co-chaired our SeniorLAW Center gala. Together they have changed the lives of thousands of families in poverty.
We at SeniorLAW Center will miss Bill’s irreplaceable spirit and character, humor, and grace and his friendship is one I will treasure forever. I send my deepest condolences to his family, his beautiful wife Shelli, a great leader and friend, and his son Billy who follows in his parents’ footsteps as an attorney with a passion for justice.

Shelli and Billy have designated SeniorLAW Center as the charity of choice for donations in memoriam. To honor Bill’s commitment to supporting vulnerable populations at both ends of the life cycle, all gifts made in his memory will be earmarked in support of SeniorLAW Center’s Grandparents Raising Grandchildren (GRG) Program.

If funding for the GRG program exceeds program needs, SeniorLAW Center will direct funds where they are needed by our service population most as determined by the Board of Directors. In honor of Bill’s legacy, please consider making a donation to SeniorLAW Center, the organization to which he dedicated his time and immense talent.

WHAT DO YOU DO IN YOUR PROFESSIONAL LIFE?

Attorney, formerly chancellor of Philadelphia Bar Association

WHY ARE YOU INVOLVED WITH SENIORLAW CENTER?

I felt it was important to continue to serve the community after serving as Chancellor and I always felt close to the mission of SLC. We all have stories of seniors in our life who have meant so much to us; it is important that they remain legally protected during their senior years, when they are so vulnerable.

HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR BOARD MEMBERSHIP / LEADERSHIP?

Simply serving is it’s own reward. Being Gala co-chair with my wife in 2016 was special as was observing the great generosity of a former board member at a recent board meeting.

OTHER WAYS YOU SERVE AS A VOLUNTEER FOR SLC?

WHY DO YOU THINK OTHERS SHOULD SUPPORT SENIORLAW CENTER?

All of us know of the need to support SLC. It is, in a way, a tribute to our parents and grandparents.

OTHER LEADERSHIP POSITIONS AND WAYS YOU GIVE BACK?

I speak up to all my friends about SLC. Sometimes, this results in support and help from unexpected sources such as Judge Jack Panella and other judges throughout the Commonwealth, and from former Heavy weight Champion Larry Holmes. I think part of our mission is to be constant cheerleaders for SLC.
