Sending my delayed condolances to the Kapfer family as I'm just discovering that he has recently passed. I knew Tom at NCR and we worked together for many years until his retirement. His wealth of knowledge regarding customer/industry practices and trends was unprecedented and he was a great mentor of the business. I hope you find peace in his memory!

Tommy Kapfer, the kid I met when we first moved to Oxford in the summer of 1951. We started third grade and went all the way through school, graduating in spring of 1961. Some of my best memories were playing basketball (GO OXFORD WHITEHAWKS) with Tom and his brother Dickie. The Kapfer brothers had cousins in Cosgrove, and when we played them it was more like a feud than a family gathering! The four of us including my brother John had paper routes. Oxford being a small town, we saw each other every evening, and weekend mornings, walking, and riding bicycles covering the complete town. Tom has said many times…we’ve been in every house in town, sometimes even invited. Tom left for the Air Force shortly after we graduated and his letters back to me from Alaska changed my mind from joining the navy and I joined the Air Force in the following January. We lost touch for quite a few years, but somehow got together on phone and computer about 7-8 years ago. We did both attend the Oxford bicentennial and got to have a very good visit. I’ll really miss our phone calls and texts. R.I.P. Tommy, and sincere condolences to your entire family.

Grandpa Tom is what Aahana and Aadhya call. He was one happy soul. There wasn’t a single dull moment when Tom was around. He loved us and in no time made us a part of his family. We are blessed to have Tom and Terasita are part of our family. We would miss Tom around but I am sure he will watch over these girls for their life.

Uncle Tommy was a great man. I remember the first double train ride down into Chicago. I remember a time when he drove downtown Chicago too, not my cup of tea though, kinda a crazy city. The many times that he came over to Iowa to visit my grandma Patty and grandpa moon. He loved his family. I loved going in to Libertyville to see him and his family. They always showed us a good time. I'm betting Uncle Tommy is up in heaven dancing polka music with my grandparents, Uncle Pete and Aunt Ernie. They are all having a ball together. If only we could get a look see of how much happiness they all are having since they are all together again. To his family, you have my sympathy and love. We will all miss him.
