To the Family of Joseph Kapusta: I knew your Husband and Father from the first day he came to Neville Island. He was a good person! I remember Bea is lovely wife and the "Kids" that came into Neville Island. He was so proud of his family. I have many fond memories of our Neville Island and Oakdale days. He did an outstanding job in the important position he held.

How blessed you were, glorius St Joseph.

Dear Bea and family: Please accept my condolences. I am deeply saddened at the passing of Joe. He was a dear friend for many years at Neville Island and Oakdale Army facilities. He was a great person who was respected and love by all that knew him. His love for our Lord is something I will always remember and hope to follow his example.
