I missed meeting you a few years ago and was really looking forward in meeting you after so many years.
May the memory of the righteous be a blessing!

I had Dr Trepp as a teacher at Napa College as well as his wife as my second grade teacher. I would like all to know they have left a positive touch on my life. I am now a teacher, they have been a big part of me being successful. Bless you both.

Rabbi Trepp's book Eternal People was my textbook for conversion candidates and many others at the SF Bureau of Jewish Ed., College of Jewish Studies. He will be remembered at the Veterans Home (Yountville, CA) on Thursday, Oct 14 at 10 AM at the Remembrance Service in the Memorial Chapel. May his memory be a blessing.

Dear family of Rabbi Trepp:
Rabbi Trepp was instrumental in renewing my enthusiasm for learning during the classes I took from him at Napa College in 1971 and 1972 which propelled me to continue my college education. I remember him fondly and have over the years (and as recently as last month) shared my personal experience with others and how he inspired me to keep learning. Blessings to your family.

My son and I took classes from Rabbi Trepp at Napa College and still refer to him 24 years later. He touched so many lives. I am sure he will be remembered by all of them.

I feel truly blessed and honored to have known Rabbi Trepp. He shared some wonderful stories and jokes (usually involving a Rabbi) with me, as long as I matched him with a story or joke. On rare occasion one is gifted with the chance to know an individual of Rabbi Trepp's caliber. My condolences to his family.
Sincerely, Mary Margaret Wetzler

Dear Trepp family,
Rabbi Trepp's ability to tell a story through sense of humor and 'pause' rivetted me in his Cultures of the Western World class at Napa College in 1972. In 2010 I was in line for his signature at CBS in Napa. His signature holds a treasured place in my Bible.
With respect and adoration,

Dear Susan and family,
Rabbie Trepp officiated our marriage in 1978, in Napa.....We met at his lovely home in Napa a couple of weeks before our wedding, when he wanted to make certain that both Ralph and I were Jewish! We had a lovely wedding ceremony in Napa and Rabbi Trepp made it a very memorable event for us and all our guest. What a wise and interesting man he was, may his soul rest in peace. Celebrate his life!
Love,
Lynne Posner

Dear Susan
You probably don't remember me, but I remember you and your family so well. I took your father's Western Civilization class at Napa JC -- I remember well his humor, but also his insightful comments. He made me think which is what the best teachers do. I also was able to see him at Congregation Beth Shalom this year -- he hadn't changed much! All my love and sympathies to you and your family.

Dr. Trepp taught me World Civilization at
Napa Junior College in the early 1950's.
My fondest memories of his class are
musical. He introduced me to Mozart.
While I went on to teach history I recall, primarily, his love of Mozart.
Thank you for that Dr. Trepp.

Dear Susan and Family: While we are all deeply saddened to read of your beloved father's passing, we feel blessed to have had him touch our lives in some small way over the years. What a full and resourceful life and career he led. His legacy will be shared by many, as well the fond memories he left with us all. Our love and sympathies to your family at this difficult time.
Fondly, Ken, Liz, Jennifer and Melanie Atterman
