I so enjoyed that you pulled others into the mix, and it is an awesome piece. I knew your Daddy when he was a young, single, sailor boy. There was something always that you couldn't help but love about him. He was a master at entertainment and stories galore from his very colorful past. I remember when Debbie was a wee one, maybe 6 months old, you were big brother, and such a sweet little guy, who loved "Puppy Charlie" almost as much as "Dear Ole Dad" did! We all were up late and slept in on Sunday morning. We were there with the "big rig" from Milwaukee. When I awoke early, there was no sign of "Dear Ole Dad"! He had slipped off to early Mass. I am sure he had hoped we would all sleep on, and not notice. Deep down in there, was a God shaped vacuum, and he quietly filled it, as best he knew. God Bless you my dear one. So sorry for all your suffering. We continue to believe for great things in your future. Sending my love through Jesus Our Lord. Aunt Kathleen My Dearest David: You did a wonderful job.

Did you feel it?? The tremor in the Nukism Tuesday morning..... engendered by the passing of one of the world's only 8th Dan Nuclear Ninjas. Revered for his vast intellect, Worshiped for his broad-spectrum knowledge, Adored for his ability to train young pups, skittle by skittle by skittle. How many of you in Ops sat at the foot of the great pedagogue and learned from his gentle hand? How many of you jumped to the flow control valves when you heard him cry, "MORE SAIL!" His dry wit entertained everyone, "Hey Andy, It's your SECOND Wife!" known for his approach to fiscal responsibility, The originator of the Kapplian swipe (no one could do it like he could) Loved for having started the School of Kapplian logic, Mike Kappl is dead! And now until forever, when nukes are sittin' 'round the cracker barrel smokin' and jokin' when the topic turns to greatness, his name will be spoken, softly, and with great reverence. We were grand friends and had nothing in common, except that we liked each other. That was plenty for Mike. He was that kind of guy. I loved Mike Kappl. I miss him already. I have no knowledge of the arrangements. David, Mike's eldest, is here performing that odious task. He has asked that he be given a few days to sort things out before being inundated with calls. As I become privy to information, I'll certainly pass it on. I sent the following to the folks at WPPSS after Dave called to tell me Mike was dead……

Did you feel it??

The tremor in the Nukism Tuesday morning….. engendered by the passing of one of the world’s only 8th Dan Nuclear Ninjas.

Revered for his vast intellect,
Worshiped for his broad-spectrum knowledge,
Adored for his ability to train young pups, skittle by skittle by skittle.
How many of you in Ops sat at the foot of the great pedagogue and learned from his gentle hand?
How many of you jumped to the flow control valves when you heard him cry, “MORE SAIL!”
His dry wit entertained everyone, “Hey Andy, It’s your SECOND Wife!”
known for his approach to fiscal responsibility,
The originator of the Kapplian swipe (no one could do it like he could)
Loved for having started the School of Kapplian logic,

Mike Kappl is dead!

And now until forever, when nukes are sittin’ ’round the cracker barrel smokin’ and jokin’
when the topic turns to greatness, his name will be spoken, softly, and with great reverence.

We were grand friends and had nothing in common, except that we liked each other. That was plenty for Mike. He was that kind of guy.

I loved Mike Kappl. I miss him already.

I have no knowledge of the arrangements. David, Mike’s eldest, is here performing that odious task. He has asked that he be given a few days to sort things out before being inundated with calls. As I become privy to information, I’ll certainly pass it on.
