Robert Kapsch Obituary
Robert J. Kapsch (age 82), PhD, Author, Civil Engineer, Chief of HABS/HAER and our beloved husband, stepfather, brother, and uncle passed away in the early morning from complications of Parkinson's Disease on Saturday, September 28, 2024, at Chiswell's Inheritance, the family farm near Poolesville, MD. He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth Perry (Kephart) Kapsch and his extended family.
The obituary recounting his full and accomplished life can be found on the Hilton Funeral Home, Barnesville, MD website, www.hiltonfh.com. Though Bob was a serious scholar who relished primary source material and a well-written footnote, his humor, generosity, steadfastness and unassailable optimism made life with him a joy.
His funeral will be at St. Peter's Parish, Poolesville, MD on October 13, 2024, at noon. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to K-9 Lifesavers (K-9lifesavers.org) or Montgomery Countryside Alliance (mocoalliance.org).
