Robert Cappa Obituary
December 18, 1933 - November 30, 2020
Bud passed away peacefully in Santa Rosa, CA after a lengthy illness.
Bud was a native San Franciscan and proud Italian. He was born to Samuel and Inez Cappa. Bud married Connie Brunero and they spent 63 wonderful years together. They raised five children, Lori Cappa, Jeanne Cappa, Bob (Chimene) Cappa, Cindy (Don) Coy and Alan Cappa. He was a loving and adored grandfather blessed with 10 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. Bud was an army veteran. Bud worked in Real Estate in San Francisco where his father founded State Realty and, in 1977, Bud co-founded California Real Estate Loans, both of which are still in business today. Bud was a lifelong 49er fan and avid tailgater at Candlestick Park. He also loved sailing on the SF Bay. Bud enjoyed people and was very active in organizations in the communities where he lived. His dog Angel was a fixture in his arms everywhere he went. Later Patches enjoyed the same love and was with him until the end. The family wishes to thank Tukai for his loving care and companionship these past two years. Bud will be greatly missed by many.

Bud was a great boss. I worked for him back in the early 80's. We had a great bunch working together. Bud had a great sense of humor. He and Bill were always fun to listen to.

Dear Cappa Family especially my friend Jeanne,
I write in gratitude for being included in the Cappa household while growing up. I treasure the memories of your dad taking us to the pumpkin patch in Half Moon Bay before it was the thing for everyone to do, for taking us to the Chinese New Year Parade where we stood as close as possible to the dragon on the narrowest street in existence with firecrackers and candy flying everywhere, for the traditional Easter egg hunt spent up on Mount Davidson while he shared the history of how that all began when he was a child himself. Mainly I am grateful for being allowed to be at home in your home thanks to your welcoming parents. With heartfelt sympathy for your great loss of someone who loved you all so much. You know his love will stay with you always. Job well done Mr. Cappa !!! Wishing you all God’s peace and love.
