Following in his father’s footsteps, he designed and built abeautiful home on Park Road leading up to Rib Mountain State Park completed in 1988 with his son David’s help.

He gave the term “man cave” a new meaning by including a 5-car garage and additional free-standing 2-car garage. Jim’s love for cars began as a teen as he and his brother owned and operated Cappel’s Standard Service Station at 92nd & Lincoln in West Allis, WI. He restored and/or rebuilt hundreds of cars and trucks over the years with his most prized vehicle being his 1983 Jeep CJ7 which won him many trophies at area car shows – truly a work of art.

Jim is survived by his loving wife Kathi; their two children, David (Gail) Cappel of Weston, WI and Christine (Tom) Reber of Manitou Springs, CO; and four grandchildren, Alex Cappel; Dakota Reber, Tiga Reber, and Iris Reber.
