William "Bill" Magee, a long time member of the Senior Bulldogs and a 1947 graduate of Burbank High School passed away recently according to the Senior Bulldogs. While at Burbank High school Bill played on the varsity tennis team. Bill was the doubles champ.
Bill first met his future wife Nadine Berkland in September 41, when they started 7th grade at John Muir Junior High school. In the 9th grade Nadine wore Bill's class ring on a chain around her neck! Bill says Nadine was very popular, and he usually had to "book a date" about a month ahead! Sometime after Nadine returned to Burbank after college in Santa Rosa she and Bill reunited. Bill said, "THANK GOODNESS we got back together after high school"! They were married on May 17, 1953. Nadine passed away March 30, 2013. They were married for almost 60 years. Bill and Nadine first lived in Canoga Park before moving to Northridge. Bill and Nadine had two children, Teri and Patrick. Bill Magee will be missed by all who loved and knew him.
Will update as I get more information.
