Jeff Capel III's article about him over the spring/summer is one of the most touching articles I've ever read.

RIP, Mr. Capel.

My memory failed me a bit -- article was actually posted in late January of this year.

PRO TIP: Make sure tissues are nearby.

I remember it well. Such a great tribute to his dad.

Such a shame. Much too early for any father to leave this earth. He will be missed.

I remember him from the Bob Staak basketball camp days. He basically ran the show while Staak would show up for about 10-15 minutes throughout the day. RIP

Thank you for sharing this. Beautiful tribute for a beautiful soul. We can all hope to be as lucky to have the bond that the Capel family clearly does.

RIP, Coach.

Wonderful tribute paid by his son. Must have been extremely proud and now rests in peace.

Sad news, but an end to his suffering. ALS is a nasty disease.

Rest in Peace, Jeff Capel, Jr.
