We cannot forget his wit, intelligence, humility caring and dedication to family and friends.

One of my favorite teachers at MPC. His interest in his students and subject matter was inspiring.

Sepp was a true gentleman and scholar from whom I learned a lot. He will be missed. Here are some pictures of Sepp, before the beard, on the 1982 "Road to Ruins" bus trip.

I was a student of Dr. Gamper's at MPC in the early aughts. His informative lectures were a delight to attend, and his sense of humor was on point. The anthropological community has lost a gem. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

I was a student of Dr. Gamper at both MPC and Golden Gate University. He was a favorite teacher of mine and always enjoyed his classes. My condolences to his family.

Dear Sandy & Children, We had some fun years being neighbors, and traveling to Peru as well. Sepp loved life! My condolences. Melanie
