Not sure what to say?

I am very sorry for your loss. Mr. Napper was a wonderful teacher and touched so many. I know he will be missed terribly. He was the first history teacher to really bring it alive for me and I have loved studying it ever since. I think of him when I study with my own kids. He was one of my favorite high school teachers.

All my love and sympathy to the Napper family. Napper, you were hands down one of my favorite teachers and you taught me what it was to be a woman of Mercy. Rest in Peace, I'll always think of you when I go to Lively Shively.

Diane and Blake,
You have been in my thoughts and prayers for the last few months and will continue thus for many days to come. It is a joy to reminisce how graced we were to have shared his presence among us. Inspiritional and unforgettable are descriptions that fit him well.
No doubt his wit and wisdom are now being shared among the Saints in heaven. I believe my latest brother may well join ranks with him.

I was so sorry to hear about Marty's passing. I taught Blake in the 4th grade at Sts. Simon and Jude and remember how involved his Dad was in his education. I will pray for you and your family.

Your family are definitely in my prayers during this time, however I want to remind you to smile as that is one of the many things I remember about Mr. Napper. He is one of the few teachers I always think of everyday, as there is always something that brings him to mind. Mr. Napper was an AMAZING teacher and person. He is the benchmark on what other people should follow. Please know he will be truly missed. I will continue to pray for you all and I hope you preserver during this...

Mr. Napper was a wonderful teacher. He was my teacher at St. Vincent de Paul and then left the year I graduated and began teaching at Mercy. I was so thrilled when he told us that he would be teaching at Mercy. I had the privilege of being his student again at Mercy. He always made learning fun. Prayers are with you and your family.

Mary Kay, I am very sorry for your loss. You have been through so much. I will pray for you and your family that God gives you strength.

I worked with Marty on the maintenance crew at Bishop David when we were in college. He was always such a fun loving guy. I am shocked to hear about his passing, but it is wonderful to hear of the positive influence that he obviously had on so many students over the years. He will certainly be missed.
