WILLIAM T. HERNANDEZ

William T. Hernandez, 26, of Swoyersville, passed away on Friday, May 9, 2025, due to complications from a motorcycle accident sustained on April 19, 2025.

Born in Wilkes-Barre, William was the beloved son of "Spanky" Hernandez of Nanticoke and Donna Schuch of Swoyersville. He was a proud graduate of Wyoming Valley West High School and worked as a property manager for Tortino Properties.
