Tad, to my childhood classmate at Keeney ST School...that smile & sense of humor, at such a young age, would make everyone laugh at school, even the teachers. May we all unite under that smile and think of our dear friend for whom will sadly be missed.

It is with great sorrow that I express my heartfelt condolences to the Kapitke family. Having known Tad since Keeney Street School, I was always fond of his sense of humor and genuine good nature. We reconnected a year or so ago and had great conversations about all manner of things. I take solace that he is healed, in the realm of the lord and looking down over us all.

Remembrance is a golden chain
Death tries to break,
but all in vain.
To have, to love, and then to part
Is the greatest sorrow of one's heart.
The years may wipe out many things
But some they wipe out never.
Like memories of those happy times
When we were all together.

Godspeed, Tad.
My thoughts are with the family.

I will always remember the good memories I was lucky enough to share with Tad and his family, his 30th birthday party, going to Vermont to see his mom and Poppy, road trips and of course the races. I know words can never express my sympathy or make this any easier. Please know that you are all in my thoughts.
