Michael T. "Max" Kapfer

Uncle Max will be missed. He was such a loving man and will be greatly missed. I love you Uncle Max. Love Sherry

Remembering a childhood friend with great fondness. I remember what a great dancer he was, how much he loved comic books and how much he knew about music. Max and music just went together!

Dear Judy and family, so sad for your loss. Sending you lots of love and prayers your way. My last memory of Max is when he loaned me his snake skin boots for my Halloween costume. He was always a giver. We had a lot of great times working at Nelson/Cummins together. Some of the best times were the many trips to Kohler and the great places he would take me to eat. Max taught me not to take life or work too seriously. He always had time for a nice chat, story, or joke. I remember when I was a newbie, he invited me to play cribbage during lunch. Doc, Holly, Max and I played a lot of cribbage. He would also read the Super Quiz to us at break time. Deep down inside I think he was trying to culture and educate us. It was a monumental task, but he took it on with humor and compassion for us less learn'ed. Max old buddy, you showed us how to love unconditionally. Thank you for that. You are forever loved by all of us that had the privilege to know you. Mike Connor

I will miss my cousin Max. My deepest sympathy for all that have lost a wonderful person! Every time I hear a jingle bell I will think of Max! Scott Ehlers

So many memories of my dear friend, Max! We were blessed to be a part of a special group of friends. When we were in our freshman or sophmore year, one night we all agreed to sneak out of our houses and meet up to stroll around town in the wee hours of the morning. We didn’t get into mischief but just had fun with no one else up and about in Neillsville at that time. We laughed so much. Max was always a big, fun-loving guy. Well, as we were walking on North Hewett St. at about 10th or 11th Street, we noticed the local police car approaching so, to avoid getting questioned, we all scattered and tried to hide behind bushes or trees. Max chose to hide behind a utility pole. I could see the shadow of him from my hiding place and both sides of his body shadow were plainly visible on each side if the pole. So, we ended up getting quizzed by the officer who just t told us to go home. I smile whenever I remember the vision of his shadow behind that utility pole. May you rest in peace, Max.
