Bob, my heart breaks for you. We are supposed to go before our children. We lived on 15th st. for a long time and & seen grandpa & grandma going down the alley with a wheel barrel full of rabbit fertilizer for the garden. We were very fortunate to have hard working Italians in our families. We are so very sorry for your loss.

Iv'e known Robert (Bob) Capprlli since 1967 and loosing a son has be the most difficult happening in his entire life. I never met his son, but he had to be a wonderful person and a tribute how he was raised and lived his life. I too am very sorry for your loss to his family and friends.

Tim and I started at Capital Airport around the same time and quickly became good friends. He was always there to assist me in the coordination of many projects over the years. We were also able to spend time together with family and friends outside the airport. My deepest condolences to the family. "I will miss you very much old friend"
