Not sure what to say?

Mr. Caspar was a well loved coach and PE teacher at Hayden High School. At our recent 50 year reunion, many asked about him. I will always remember him with an ear to ear grin ...and even if you knew he was mad...it only showed in his eyes! He left a big impression on my classmates and me! May he rest in peace and may the family hold many precious memories close in your hearts! Deepest sympathy and true respect, Cathy Novak-Wood

This is being done in 2023 so hope it gets included. I was stationed with Jim at Camp Pendleton in 1957. He was a great funny loving guy. In those days he was more roly-poly that his obit picture. He seemed to have had a very rich full life.

I worked with Jim at Cobalt Boats for many years Jim was respected and liked very well through out Cobalt as I still am at cobalt boats he will be missed by all of us that knew him.

Jim was a classmate through grade and high school in Hays Kansas. I remember his sense of humor, his forever smile and the twinkle in his eye. He was a good friend.
Please know I send my prayers to the family at this difficult time. I'm confident you have many wonderful memories that give you comfort now.

"Coach" Casper and all of your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

He was a mentor to me during my high school sports times, but also in life. With such a large family I remember how much fun we had at the family reunions and Grandpa and Grandmas' house it was always loud, crowded with kids and aunts and uncles, and then there was Uncle Jim,...

RIP

I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Jim.

Thinking of your family and sending prayers for you all. Great memories of your family when you lived in Clay Center Ks.
