William Moderhak Obituary

William (Bill) Moderhak, an icon of the automotive industry for over 50 years, passed away on November 12th, 2022, in Savannah, GA, surrounded by those closest to him. Bill recently left Longmont with his wife Jessica Tritipo for Hilton Head, SC, to enjoy retirement. Bill's impact, as a pillar of the Longmont community, has been profound and felt by many. He is remembered by most to be the most generous, lovable and funniest character in the room. Bill is survived by his wife Jessica Tritipo, son Kyle Moderhak, and sister Ruth Moderhak Wyrick. A memorial service will be held in Longmont in the near future to celebrate Bill's life.

Condolences from Columbus,Ohio.
I met Bill at Northwood University fall 1972, and we became good buddies. At the request of another Northwood friend Casey, we all relocated to Los Angeles to sell cars at his fathers's Ford dealership, Bill and I became housemates in Hermosa Beach. Many years later, but still so sad to see he passed. I loved Bill's irreverent wit and keen intelligence. We had many good times and adventures together in those days. He will be missed, and sorry I found out so late.

I remember way back when Bill and his family moved up the street from me on Clinton St in Seneca Falls. We were never close but what a fun guy. I wish I had known he was living in Savannah since that’s where to find me these days. My prayers are with you all as you navigate through this difficult time.

You probably don´t remember me but I used to watch Kyle when he was little, happened upon the obituary just now and wanted to send love and condolences to the family

We had a lot of good memories as first cousins. Bill was a good guy and we were very surprised by his sudden passing. We had talked on the phone just two weeks ago and there was no early warning signs. Thoughts and prayers to Jessie and Kyle.
