    Uncle Bill was such a lovely man. I will always remember his smile when I walked in the room at family gatherings, his singing and, his dancing with Aunt Phyllis. Sending love and condolences from Georgia…

    Remembering Bill and the wonderful visits from Ireland to his home in Rochester N Y many years ago where we got the most wonderful welcome. May he rest in peace.

    Sending sincere condolences from across the miles. Bill was so hospitable to us when we visited from Ireland many years ago. A long life, well lived, may he rest in peace.

    Bill Rapp has been part of my life for over 60 years. He was the voice of reason in any discussion, always the calming influence. When Phyllis died, the angels took charge and brought Helen to Bill. She has been the joy of his life and a wonderful friend. The Gates of Heaven have opened wide for Bill Rapp.
