Sincere condolences to the Capelle family. I always enjoyed being around Al, and he definitely made work interesting at times…especially when he’d get to laughing, which made us laugh harder, because of him laughing. He’ll be missed, but left behind some great memories for a lot of people! You all are in my thoughts and prayers-
My condolences to the entire Capelle family. Although I never had the pleasure to meet Al in person, I did work and communicate with Al on R.R. Donnelley projects. Al had a keen mind, great spirit, and an infectious sense of humor. He was always a pleasure to work with, and you could count on his 110% effort and dedication. He will be dearly missed and impossible to replace. Sincerely, Robert Kirchens (RRD Family)

patti &family so sorry for your loss I lost touch with everyone and didn’t no he had been sick again so sorry my prayers are with you all
Patty I know I don’t have the words to change anything that you are feeling right now! I did not know that he had been sick. I am so sorry to hear this. My heart is with you and your family. May God wrap each and everyone of you in his arms and comfort you and help your heart feel peace.
My heart goes out to the entire family and I’m sending you my love from afar. I wish you all healing hearts and minds. I like to think Al is pain free and having a blast up in heaven with my dad. I can practically hear their booming laughter! “God broke our hearts to prove he only takes the best.”
Patti,
My mom was Ruth Schneble and she loved both you and Alan! I just want you to know that you and the kids are in my prayers.
Patti and Girls, I’m lost for words. Al was a Hell of a Friend and will be missed greatly. Always,always had a smile and a laugh with it. Wish I could be at the funeral, but you guys will be on my mind and in my prayers. Please give Janice a hug for me and I will stop out the next time in town. Beef
I, like many, met Al through his work as he traveled around for RRD. He was a fun guy to just sit and shoot the breeze with and I’ll never forget him. I know his passing leaves a huge hole with family and friends.
I fondly remember Alan from Jr. High and High School. I am saddened to hear that another friend is gone too soon. Prayers and hugs to all the family and friends. May the memories of the good times help ease the pain.
My deepest sympathy goes out to you Patti and the girls. Al was a great man and I certainly felt it when I heard of his passing. I hope you find comfort in each other and Al can now rest easy. Sending much love your way. Rachel Toth-Hare
