Thomas Joseph "Tom" Capelli

Capelli, Thomas Tom Joseph died peacefully in his home in St. Louis, MO, on May 19th, at the age of 67. Tom is survived by his wife, Cindy (Remer); daughter, Marie; son, Tom; stepsons, Blaine Remer (Heather Clark), Nathan Remer (Crystal Albers), and Jared Remer; sister, Sharon Andersohn: and aunt, Paula Higbee (Capelli); as well as by many grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins. Tom was born, the only surviving son of Thomas F. and Maxine Capelli, on February 4, 1949 in St. Louis, MO. He will be remembered for his generosity, good nature, humor, and kindness to others. A passionate progressive, Tom was always concerned with how others were treated. When asked how Tom was doing, his response was always Oh, can't complain (even in his final days). Those of us who were blessed to have known him also can't complain. Services: A memorial is scheduled for May 26th from 4:00-8:00pm at Ambruster Chapel, 6633 Clayton Rd., St. Louis, 63117 with a short tribute at 7:00pm. In lieu of flowers, Tom requested donations be sent to the Scott H. Oliphant Foundation, a local charity helping families cope with cancer. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Tom's life. If you are unable to attend, perhaps the next time you see a bottle of Cherry Herring, have one for Tom and think of him laughing as we struggle through what he said would be the most interesting election year to date.
