Here is the message we received.  He was known to us as Rupert Capra.  I 
assume from the Obit that was his real name.  I noticed on your list he 
appears as "Bob Gambs" which, according to the obit is his son in law.  
But, I can tell from the way Bob Gambs writes and the expressions and 
humor he uses that it is the same person.  I also notice that he is 
using a different e-mail address on your list these days, but he has 
used the one below in the past.

Please let me know if anyone has any information.


I am posting the contents of the word document below this message since word documents are apparently not allowed on your list.

My father, who was a member of your group (I think), died on Saturday of 
congestive heart failure. I am attaching a short obituary.

He appears to have been receiving hundreds of emails daily from you 
people and I am unsure of how to turn them off. Could someone please do 
it from your end?
Thank you,
Isobel Queen

THE VERY REVEREND RUPERT IGNACIO di LOYOLA CAPRA, S.J.

Word has been received of the death of Rupert I. Capra, S.J. At the time 
of his death, August 28, 2004, Father Capra was serving as Father 
Superior of The Plum Creek Community of St. Joseph of Arimathea in 
Nebraska. An internationally known missionary, theologian and social 
commentator, Father Capra was 77.

He was born July 31, 1927, on the political prison island of Ustica, 
near Sicily, to the Italian socialist revolutionary scholar Scogliera 
Guado Capra and the American women’s rights activist Shiela Salicia Sedona.

After the execution of his father by the Fascisti in 1932, Rupert 
emigrated with his mother from Italy, settling in New Mexico.

He attended Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, graduating in 1945. 
In 1949 he married Eva Lynne Rideout-Carpentier. They had six children 
including two sets of twins. After the death of his wife in 1963 he 
enrolled in St Francis Seminary in Wisconsin. He was ordained priest in 
1972 and worked in the mission field in Africa, Asia Minor, and Eastern 
Europe until he retired in 2001 due to illness. He was appointed Father 
Superior at St Joseph of Arimathea in 2002.

He is survived by four sons, Castor (Pauline) Capra of Louisville, KY; 
the Rev. Msgr. Pollux Capra of New York, NY; Remus (Melinda) Capra of 
Santa Fe, NM; and Romulus (Phyllis) Capra of Van Nuys, CA; and two 
daughters, Dr. Isobel Queen of Lake Forest, IL; and Ruth (Robert) Gambs 
of North Platte, NE; sixteen grandchildren; eleven great grandchildren; 
and two great-great grandchildren.

There will be a private family mass at the St Joseph’s chapel. The body 
will be cremated for later disposition.
