On Thursday, May 9th, I had the honor of carrying my Father-in-law to his final resting place next to his bride, Dot. Words cannot express the loss as he was my Go to Man for anything technical. But our grief will turn to sorrow, our sorrow will give way to our memories of Bill, and his memories are the way Bill will always be with us. God rest Bill, we will miss you.

Our heartfelt sympathies and condolences go out to Donna, Sean, and Jen as well as their respective spouses. Mr. Repp will always hold a special place in our hearts. He cared for everyone, helped anyone in need, and had the biggest heart. He has earned his wings, will fly as an eagle high above and watch over you as he did here on earth.

I haven't spent much time with my Uncle Bill since I moved to Florida with my parents (his brother) years ago but every time I saw him, he always had a joke to tell and made me laugh. I know my father is morning the loss of his brother and his family is morning the loss of a wonderful father and grandfather. Keep those angels laughing in heaven Uncle Bill! We will miss you!!

Dear Donna, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I know how much your dad was a part of your and your family's life. May he rest in blissful peace. He was an angel on earth and is now one in heaven, as he should be. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I remember my Uncle Bill as a man who loved his family and enjoyed getting together for some great cook outs. He was always interested in how us kids were doing in the sport we were playing. I am so glad my Dad, his brother Ed, got to see and talk to each other once more in March. I know he is at peace and with our beautiful Aunt Dot. All my prayers go to my favorite cousins Donna, Steve & Jen and their families.
