Donald Paul Rapp

I've just recently found out about Don's passing. I'm so sorry for your loss. Don was truly a one-of-a-kind individual. He was a delight to know and I very much enjoyed working with him. Best wishes to you and yours, our prayers (however belated) are with you.

Jim & I cherish the times we shared over the years with Don, Dot, and family in both Ft Wayne (Sevier's, NWTA, & 2NC) and later in southern Ohio. Regretfully, we got together too seldom while you lived in Lebanon. It was fitting somehow that we learned of Don's passing through a mutual friend at "Friendship" several weeks after the fact. Would love to reconnect with Dorothy.

I met Don at a convention (possibly in South Bend) when I was doing a lot of roleplaying in my teens in the late 70s/early 80s. He was an interesting guy - very personable, took me seriously, and, in fact, sold me his mounted map of the Traveller Imperium and neighboring extents, back when that map was really new - I had never seen it before, and was a bit drooly over it. I displayed it prominently for many years after that. Now, after living here in Fort Wayne for almost five years, I've...

Dear Dorothy and Family,
I enjoyed working with Don at Airborne and missed him after he left. We enjoyed the times he was able to have lunch with us.
And I will definitely think of Don every time I get out the "Old Stone Fort" or see one of the CAF planes or see something out of the blue that will remind me of him.
Don was one of a kind and will certainly be missed. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

I still have my copy of The Old Stone Fort. Thanks for the hours of pleasure it brought.

Dean, Jenn,
Ann and I were so very sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. Though time has gone by, we still keep all of the fond memories from all the great times we shared at reenactments. You and your family are in our prayers. May you find the peace and strength you need. Please contact me when you have time. Ann has been trying to find Jenn. Take care.

To the Rapp Family:

It seems like a "long time ago and in a galaxy far away" that I had the fortune to meet Don and his family- I always enjoyed his humor and company - he was one of the best.

Have a glass in his memory - one more sad chorus of the Parting Glass

Donald's book Old Stone Fort was one of the first gaming books I ever bought and played. I enjoyed it immensely, thanks Donald! I wish his family all the best in their time of grief.

father don i love you with all my heart and i will miss you dearly. you were like a father to me.
