William "Bill" Ore , age 71, of Mays Landing NJ passed away on Friday, October 14, 2022 at Inspira Medical Center-Vineland after a brief illness. He was born in Bridgeton NJ on September 22, 1951 to the late William D. Ore and Evelyn Ore (nee Zanes) and graduated from Bridgeton High School in 1969.
