Metzler, Jr., had jokes and charm to spare. His curls showed off his playful nature, whether they were blonde or teased out! He always looked sharp–dressed in Pittsburgh sports apparel, or ready for a night on the town.
A graduate of North Allegheny High School, Class of 1969, friends will fondly remember the many ways he made them laugh.
Rege was a proud Marine who served his country in Vietnam, and continued his involvement upon his return, wearing his United States Marine Corps attire with dignity.
Rege passed away on his 69th birthday, and is preceded in death by his parents Regis Sr. and Helen Metzler and his sister Debbie (Jim) Link. He is survived by sisters Diane (Bill) Sullivan, Denise (Don) Ryan and Sheryn (Dan) Fisher. He was also survived by 19 nieces and nephews with plenty of stories to tell about their wild card Uncle Regie.
I’ll always remember Rege as one of the guys. We had a lot of fun together and I’m grateful we were reunited last year at the reunion.God speed my old friend.
You have embodied the true meaning of friendship. My family is so grateful to have known you and to have had you in our life. You will be missed. P.S. I love you R.J.
You were always a great friend Rege and I and proud to have known you.
