Jill and family,

In behalf of Gerold and Sonia Raphael of Trinidad and Tobago we extend peace and love to the family during this time.
To my beloved friends and family..Mr Krapels will always be one dynamic motivator in many lives…mine included.
His calming,warm sense…mixed with a wit of humor few possess…tributes I’ve always admired and sought to emulate in my life.
I wish I could throw my arms around all of you right now. 600 miles away and a pandemic kind of get in the way.
Please know your loss is not suffered alone. Knowing him as I think Kev Jeff and Jill would agree he’d find a quick joke to fill in the blank. Without him there is only the blank.
Love you Mrs Krapels . Sonny and Mary are giving him a tour around the pearly gates about now.
Our deepest sympathies for your loss. Keeping you all in our prayers!
Sincerely,
Bunny (Kiel) & Joe Spano
