Rav Trepp of righteous memory, may his memory forever be a blessing.

- Leo,

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.

M.H.D.S.R.I.P - Rabbi I never got to meet you, and I wish I had, heard many stories from my Grandmother and father about you and the family, she followed the news and bought your books to read, and always said she would meet you one day again, she never did, oe day I will honour that by visiting your gravesite.

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.
