It has been one year, my love, since
you have left this world. I know you are riding your harley with the angels
and are at peace with all.We will be riding together one day, I know that for a fact. Our love has never died and never will, it was one of those that lasted forever.

Please accept my sincere condolences to the Kapp family. Gary and I were classmates and "skip-school" friends at Central Catholic High School.
I moved from Fort Wayne in 1964.
May God's love give you peace in your loss.

RIDE ON ANGELS WINGS

Gone now but not forgotten
Forever in our dreams
Everyday the sun shines for you
Everyday the roads are dry
The straights go on forever
The bends are as you dream
There are no more pains
There are no more worries
You will be there at every party
You will take part in every race
You will stand there on the podium
You will race with the stars
You will ride upon God's pillion
And if Angels ride on Harleys
Then you will surely travel far
On earth you were my brother
And now you are a star
So glide on heavens highway
And lead the train up front
One day you will be waiting
And together we will ride
Once more again as brothers
The white line side by side
RIDE BROTHER RIDE

My blessing to Gary's wife and family. Most people never knew this but Gary and I went through boot camp together in 1966. I have pictures if the family is interested.
After returning home I started to ride motorcycles (Harleys) and I again became aquainted with Kraut. He surely was one of Fort Waynes origional BIKERS and will be missed by all of us "older bikers",that knew him.

Ride in peace my friend.
