Bill Mattus (38 years old) passed away on March 14, 2007. He was
currently residing in Georgia and was an Asst Drum Major for the
Bridgemen in 1985. Bill was also one of the participants with the
Bridgemen drumline in the Twix Candy Bar commercial.
Although he was not ready to participate with the Bridgemen as a
drummer, he elected to perform in the role of Assistant Drum Major just
to get the experience of being in the corp (And it's quite well known
that 1985 was an experience, to say the least!!!). That alone should
tell you about his character.
Bill performed in the Crossmen snareline from 1986-1989 and later was a
member of their staff from 1990-1993. William was born March 29, 1968
in Meadowbrook, Pennsylvania, son of Roberta "Bobbie" E. Mattus (nee -
Dunlop) and the late William J. Mattus. He is the Brother of David W.
Mattus. He was a graduate of Woodlawn Elementary and Upper Moreland High
School class of 1986. He attended Montgomery County Community College
and was a Technical Specialist for Convergus in Atlanta, GA, handling
technical support for Cingular (A.T.&T.).
