Thomas "Tom" R. Rapa

Sending our condolences to all of you. Tom was an amazing husband, father and grandfather. May you share many happy memories forever together.

I had the pleasure of teaching with Tom I used to call him “Rapa Dap” It sounds silly now;but,at the time, we were! The Sixth Grade teachers enjoyed each other’s company ; sharing our daily “ups and downs “. He ALWAYS made me smile; such a kind Spirit. GOD’s Peace Be With You, Family

To the Rapa Family,
May our Lord fill your hearts with special family memories. I ask in Jesus’ name, amen.
With love,

Tom was an extremely friendly and gentle man whom we have known now for many years. We will miss his presence in the neighborhood. We are thinking of Peggy and the rest of his family with love. Wishing you all strength in the days ahead and we are sorry to be away at this time and unable to express our feeelings in person. Sincerely, Kathy and Jerry

It has been our pleasure and privilege to know wonderful Tom for over five decades and are broken-hearted about his passing. He was the soul of kindness and generosity and an excellent teacher and coach. We are so grateful to have been his friends and are grieving his loss and celebrating his remarkable life.

Sending sincere condolences and support to this beautiful family. We’ve known Lauren since she was a little as my sister‘s best friend. Tom was a great guy and he will be sorely missed.
Much love the Gray family.xo
