Not sure what to say?

My father was a noble and gracious gentleman as well as a good Catholic. Requiescat in pace.

Kathleen,
Know that your father is now at peace with God in heaven. He will still be close to you each day.

As one of the last Troubadors I'll miss my old friend. Your mother always wondered why a "young" man like me was associated with your Dad. He had more vitality than the rest of us. I always wished I could follow his diet regimen. He always left something on his plate.
We had a lot of adventures singing to all sorts of Penn State fans and their opposition supporters.
God bless Bill, he blessed me

Kathy and family: Rich and I read your Dad's obit and want you to know how much we enjoyed knowing him and your mother. We were in a parish (St. Joan's) discussion group and he played his ukulele and sang at our socials. Your mother referred to him as "Queen"....they were both very fun-loving and generous people to know. Kathy, if you find yourself in Hershey give me a call, I'd love to chat with you. Sincerely Sandy and Rich Cappelli.

Our condolence Kathy to you and the family. I know you and the girls will miss him terribly. We have lots of good memories visiting your parents when we took the girls there from Stone Harbor. Hugs Wilhelmina and Woody

My condolences to the Torchia family. When I lived in Hershey I remember Bill as a regular patron of the former Kreider's restaurant. I enjoyed his company immensely. He was a wonderful person. May he rest in peace.

Kathy and Family-- Eric and I are very sad about Bill passing away. He was a true gentleman and wonderful person to have had the pleasure of knowing. He will be missed and rememberd by everyone! I will never forget the golf games with no rules and no score cards and my introduction by him to rolling rock beer. A true sportsman and a real "Mans Man".
Our deepest Condolences!

"Mr. T" was a lovely gentleman,and will be missed by many,many people.
My husband,daughter Madeleine and I send our condolences to the entire Torchia family.

Dear Bill, Linda, Kathy, and MaryAnn,
So sorry to learn of your dad's passing. He was a very unique person, and I felt privileged to have had contact with him over the years. Please be assured that in the days ahead you and your dad will be very much in my thoughts and prayers. Requiem aeternam dona ei Domine et lux perpetua luceat ei. Requiescat in pace!
Sincerely,
