Rev. Charles A. Kapps

I just recently (Dec. 2019) found out that Rev. Kapps had passed. Now I am a bit upset that I did not keep in touch although I thought about it many times. Of the numerous professors whose classes at the many universities I attended, for me, Dr. Kapps was the most beloved. While pushing me to do my best he was a sweet and kind friend as well. The only way I had to show my appreciation of who he was was to write the best software for him that I could at that time. I hope he was able made good...

I have known the Kapps' family since I was child at St. Mary's and have distinct memories of Charley swinging the crucible during church processions. Of course I knew he was extremely talented but had no idea of the breadth of his accomplishments. He was always warm and genuine. I am so sad for his loss and will be there to honor him on the 25th.

I have known Charley since at least the early 1970's. I knew he was extremely accomplished and yet always so modest and friendly. First and foremost however, I will always remember his awesome sense of humor, and secondly how sweet he was to always give me a ride home on his motorcycle after I baby sat his kids.
Charley's passing is a sad milestone in my life.

Charlie will be missed by all who knew him. He was a kind and gentle man who loved the world. To: Marcia and his family-: The greatest gift we can give to those who have left us is to live fully in their place."Bless you all.

He was an awesome, kind and happy person. His spirit will be missed.

We will miss Charley. He was kind,funny and a pleasure to be around. Our world is a little less bright without him in it. We will never forget him.

We knew him as Charlie at the U of PA. He was very bright and approachable. It is sad to read that he died.

Many of us at St Mary's Reading came to know Fr Charles one summer when he served as supply priest. Before and after the HE, he shared stories with us and brought in photos for us to view. I loved the photos he shared with us and the manner inwhich he presented them. He had not only a keen mind but a keen eye for composition. We kept in touch afterwards online sporadically. He was a most remarkable, kind, knowledgable man who loved his family deeply and served his God so very well. I feel...

Charles was a wonderful priest and friend who I had the privilege of getting to know when I came to St. Thomas' in Morgantown, PA. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
