Bill Geppert: Teacher Coach Lifeguard | Dover News

Bill Geppert, beloved teacher, coach, and lifeguard, passed away suddenly at 60—leaving behind a legacy of excellence in education, athletics, and community service. An Eagle Scout and Villanova quarterback, he spent 30+ years shaping young minds at Cape Henlopen High, earning Teacher of the Year honors and leading robotics, chemistry, and marine science with passion. On the field and pool, he coached football, swim teams (including championship squads), and golf, culminating in DIAA Coach of the Year in girls’ swimming and guiding his golf team to a 2025 title. A dedicated lifeguard for Delaware State Parks, he also safeguarded beaches and inspired generations. Survived by his son William IV, daughter Marlee, and mother Norma, the family invites you to honor him with a visitation at St. Edmond Catholic Church on August 14th—and to give in his name to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
