Wee Willie\’ Webber dies, a beloved radio, TV star

BILL WEBBER often said that he didn\’t look forward to retirement. He
said that he wanted to continue working until they put him in the ground
– \”and maybe longer.\” William W. Webber, known as \”Wee Willie Webber\” to countless TV and radio fans in Philadelphia for more than half a century, longtime
officer of the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia and a man who never
turned down a request to do a fundraiser, telethon or other charitable
benefit, died yesterday. He was 80 and lived in Center City. He had gone into Presbyterian Medical Center for heart surgery but died
before it could be performed. He was still working until a short time before his hospitalization. One of his stints was with disc jockey Jerry Blavat on WVLT in Vineland,
N.J., as well as spinning platters on Philadelphia\’s WHAT.
