Mr. K was my 5th and 6th grade teacher. Truly was the most inspirational teachers I ever had. He took my late father and I fishing on his boat on a couple occasions. I was shocked and sad when I heard of his passing. My prayers are with his family and he will be missed.

I know I can speak for the entire Lewelling Elementary School of 1965. You were and still are our favorite teacher. You knew when to discipline and when to show compassion. Even the discipline was fine with me because I knew you cared. If only we could have teachers like you today, I wouldn't worry so much about my granddaughters education. Love to Tudy, Lisa and Kapellas Boys.

I have many fond and vivid memories of times spent with Marc ... Class of 74-75 Tam Valley school and Mill Valley Middle- 7th and 8th grade. He treated me as a son and played a profound role in my youth. The many lunches and inspiring conversations we had together ... burgers, fries and shakes (which he would pay for and I would pick up, riding my bike to and from Shoreline coffee shop.) He was always filled with compassion... fun, strict, and to the point.. These are characteristics I always admired in him along with his huge loving heart. Marc was my favorite teacher and a good friend I will never forget.
Love to Tudy, Lisa and their entire family. Lisa and I both send our love and condolences.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Kapellas, especially for his family. He was without question my favorite teacher and thinking back on my time in his fifth and sixth grade classes brings back many fond memories. There were the floods where we spent days indoors, games of capture the flag at Boyle Park, and of course, having to spell his name on every spelling test! We'll miss you Mr. K.

I shared the pleasure of Mr. K's class with Jeannette, Johle, and Heather. He is one of the influences the led me to profession of education. He was a great teacher, and the world is a better place because of him. Thanks Mr. K!

Mr. Kapellas was among a group of teachers that had a strong influence on my education (From grade school through college). He was my 6th grade teacher and I have to say I actually enjoyed learning. He knew when to be strict and when to use his sense of humor to connect with us. I will always remember Mr. Kapellas fondly and appreciate his lessons both in academics and life. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

He was a teacher who has stuck with me all these years. I remember his sense of humor and a great smile but he was tough too.
He taught our 6th grade class great older songs. We all sang Mack the knife and close to you. To this day I think of him when I hear those songs.

Mr Kapellas
I have to say of all the teachers I've ever had he was one of the best at getting me to want to learn. I had him for 5th grade at Tam Valley School in the 1974-75 school year. Here are a few things I remember from his class, football and his bullet like underarm pass, doing presidential physical fitness test as he timed us, his science projects that always seemed to involve some level of danger and of course dominoes. As fun as it all sounds I learned a lot that year!
Saddened to hear of his passing and my sympathies to his family. He will be missed.

Oh I am so saddened to hear about the passing of Marc. We were just talking about him over on Facebook. He was the greatest school teacher ever. Loved playing dominoes in his class. My deepest sympathies to his family.
