William Rebstock, a leader of heating/air-conditioning firm

William H. Rebstock, 59, of Marlton, vice president of a family-owned Philadelphia heating and air-conditioning firm, died of cancer Saturday, Sept. 28, at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.

In 2003, Mr. Rebstock was elected vice president of W. Kramer Associates Inc. after 25 years with the East Falls firm. That was the same year that his brother, Robert, was elected president of the firm.

In 1952, the brothers' father, Howard, had joined the Kramer firm. In 1967 he became its president, and in 2003 was named its CEO.

The firm develops, installs, and services several types of heating and air-conditioning systems, Robert Rebstock said.

Born in Roxborough, William Rebstock graduated from North Penn High School in Lansdale in 1974, studied business at Temple University, and became a master plumber registered in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Besides his father and brother, Mr. Rebstock is survived by wife Paula, mother Eleanor, daughters Karli and Kyle, and two sisters.
