William Bach Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Pittsburgh Cremation & Funeral Care - Robinson Township on Feb. 3, 2026.
William "Bill" Bach, 54, of Bethel Park, passed away unexpectedly on January 21, 2026. Born on March 25, 1971 in Pittsburgh, PA he is the son of Carolyn Penrod.

Bill was the beloved husband of Cheryl Bach, brother of Bonnie Waldo, and devoted dog dad to his three pugs. His is also survived by three nieces and a nephew.

After moving to Florida in 1993 to be closer to family, Bill worked and attended school before being diagnosed with kidney failure and beginning dialysis. He received his first kidney transplant in 1998. Missing home, he returned to the Pittsburgh area in 2003 with his dog and his Mustang. In time, his health declined again, leading to more surgeries, dialysis, and a second kidney transplant in 2015. Despite ongoing health challenges, Bill lived a productive and full life - working daily, walking his dogs, caring for his yard, working on his cars, and enjoying hockey. He will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved him.

All services were entrusted to Pittsburgh Cremation and Funeral Care.
