In Memory of Bill Leply

Dear MVRC members,
It is with great sadness that I must inform you that one of our long-term members, William “Bill” Lepley passed away last night after a lengthy illness. Bill was a member of Mid-Virginia Radio Control Club for many many years and a close friend to many of us. Bill valued his family life, his career teaching our children, and as we know, building and flying model airplanes.
Throughout his long history with MVRC, Bill served our club in many ways. We will always remember Bill for making sure we stayed in good standing with Ft. Lee, serving as President of MVRC, Vice President, Website Manager, mowing the grass, and helping fellow modelers improve their building and flying skills. Bill earned a reputation as a devoted and skilled modeler and displayed his immaculate scale models up and down the east coast. Many of his student pilots remain loyal modelers.
On behalf of the Mid-Virginia Radio Control Club, we offer our sympathy and condolences to Bill’s family and the many friends he leaves behind. We will all miss him.
