William (Bill) S. Repholz of Merchantville, NJ passed away suddenly on October 2, 2025 at the age of 80 years. Beloved wife of 46 years, Paula Repholz (LaFace) of Merchantville. Loving daughter Hosanna Fletcher (Kevin) and loving son William Repholz. Dear grandfather of Miranda Fletcher and Thomas Fletcher Loving brother of Robert (Bob) Repholz and Pat McGill. He also leaves behind his nephews Rick McGill (Melissa, children Sara and Cole), Leigh Repholz, his cousin Sarah Perry (David Humphrey, child Spencer Humphrey), Honora Repholz, Ann (LaFace) Cummings (sister in law). He will be sadly missed.

Bill graduated from Father Judge High School (Philadelphia, PA) in 1963. He enlisted in the US Navy during the Vietnam War and served aboard the USS Aucilla. Bill worked at PECO (Philadelphia Electric Company) for the entirety of his career, retiring as a Facility Control and Safety Monitor at the 23rd and Market Street building. He was an active member of the New Jersey Southern NTrak model railroad club for over 40 years, producing beautiful, detailed models, participating in public benefit shows, and mentoring new members. Bill had the eye of an artist who appreciated the finer details of life: in nature, in architecture, in his own sketches and paintings, and in his model cars and trains. He was an avid consumer of information - newspapers, the local library, local radio, and trivia. He never met a puzzle he didn't like to solve. Bill was a lifelong American Red Cross Blood Donor, a regular food pantry delivery volunteer for the St. Vincent de Paul Society of St. Peter Catholic Church (Merchantville, NJ), and a registered Organ Donor. He gave of himself both in his life and in his death.

In honor of Bill's memory, please consider making a donation to the Merchantville Branch of the Camden County Library System or the New Jersey Southern NTrak (njsntrak.us) group.

Services for Bill will be planned at a later date.
