William Paul Rech

I'm so saddened to hear about this loss! My memories of singing with Kirkpatrick Chapel Choir have always included Bill, his wonderful tenor voice and constant optimism and humor. He enriched our lives with his talent. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

He brought us music, laughter and friendship. He made us feel enriched with a smile a wisecrack and an impish turn of his head. We are all poorer without him.
RC Class of '82

The best times we had with Billy were when we were all together either at Grandma's or at Lake Hopatcong. We have fond memories of Bill and all the good times we had when all 8 kids were together. He had a wonderful sense of humor that we shall never forget. Our deepest sympathies to Cioci Rose, Uncle Hans, Robert, John and Tom. Bill is in good hands with Grandma, Grandpa and his Uncle Leo. He will add to the special angels who watch over our families.

Long ago in Kirkpatrick Choir, it was such a pleasure to sing and travel Europe with Bill -- he got along with absolutely everyone! I'll really miss him.

I can't think of my times with the KC choir gang without thinking of Bill. His conducting, vocal talent, his wit and gloriously ascerbic humor, our animated talks about music, not to mention his cooking, are intertwined in my memories of every KC rehearsal, concert, tour, and party. His long romance with Debbie was born in the choir, and I was so happy to be there for the wedding. My heart goes out to Deb and the Rech family...I will never, ever forget Bill.

Bill,
When I think of you I remember the great times we had at GrandMa's house. The picnincs,riding the minibike, trying to catch the toads in the pond, tractor rides with Grandma as the driver...all memories that I cherish. I am not sure why God has decided to take you from us at this time, but He has a plan. A plan that one day we will know. May God bless the Rech family with special strength to make it through this most difficult time.
Love your cousin, Mary

Our thoughts go out to you and your family during this time of grief. Mr. Rech taught my daughter in choir at PV Middle School. He was a kind and talented man and will be greatly missed.

The angel that has lived among us has gone home. You will be missed.

I close my eyes and hear Bill's glorious tenor, a gift I will treasure always.
