Robert Kaps

Bobby - Fairfield '85 here. We knew each other to say hello, ran in different circles, yet we always would talk whenever we would bump into each other on campus. Had not been back to Fairfield since graduation to attend a basketball game at the new arena. Almost 40 years. At the Alumni Reception prior to the game, met some rugby guys from '84 and your name, of course, came up, along with the mandatory Duggan reference. They had me laughing! I know you would have been there and I am glad...

Kapper, you are never far from my thoughts. We miss you. Jc.

I had the honor of supporting Rob and his team at my former job and I can honestly say that, in all my years there, I never met a sweeter, kinder, more hardworking person. Rob always managed to put a smile on his face, even on the hard days. He always treated others with respect and was so highly respected by others. He made me feel valued and appreciated and I was grateful to have worked so closely with him. He was a very special person and will be missed by so many.

I received an email that the guest book will soon be taken down. It was a reminder of the loss of our dear friend. As we all witnessed at his service, he an Mo have done a tremendous job raising two beautiful kids. Rick, it's a tough spot you were in, but you were able to hit the right tone mixing laughter and tears. Mo, you will remain in our prayers as you continue to mourn. Please stay in touch. Reach out to me or any of your friends who know you and Bobby from Trinity. We will be there...

It's hard to put into words how we felt about Bobby, as he was truly a one of a kind kind of person, who exuded such much fun every time you were with him and a wonderful joy for others. We feel so lucky to have called him our friend for as long as we did. It's still tough to imagine that Bobby isn't physically here with us anymore. But we are certain that he's with us all in spirit pouring out his love and understanding for the rest of our time..... Love you forever Bobby!

Kapper was a special person to Melanie and me. We enjoyed every time we were with him, Mo, Nicole and Miles, especially the time in the Hamptons. Kaps and I were on many fun and funny sales calls together when we were both at Looking Glass Networks. These are stories we tell to this day and they warm our hearts and every one includes a memory of Robert's infectious smile. The world is dimmer. Our deepest, heartfelt condolences.

So sorry to here about Bobby - we always enjoyed seeing him here and there in town - one of the Cranston Street basketball players and a joyous person.

Joan so very sorry. Julie nielsen

Bobby was such a special person and I am so sad that he is gone from our lives. I will always be grateful that he was my friend for so many years. From the day that we first met in high school he always called me Jeffrey and continued to call me by my full name in the years thereafter. I believe it was his way of making me feel special as that was just the Bobby Kaps way. His ability to make everyone feel as though they were the most important person is what made him so well liked and was his...
