Bill Breslin was born in Woodbury, New Jersey to Margaret Miller Vanneman. His birth father's identity was unknown until approximately 2004, when Margaret told him about his biological father a man named Leo T. Murphy. He was a friend of her brother John who was in the Navy. She had recently become a widow [first husband Horace Vanneman] and I believe she passed Bill off as his son. She later married Robert Neil Breslin who legally adopted Bill. Bill considered Bob Breslin to be his real father and never had any desire to find Murphy. After Margaret's death in 2013 we found the letters from Leo T. Murphy that she had kept.
This biography is written by Bill's wife, Sabra.
