Anthony Brent Grove wrote a sympathy message

“Mr Rapp was a kind and gentle man with a great sense of humor. He was a good friend to my dad for 70+ years. He visited my Mom and Dad in Sneads Ferry, NC often on my Mom's birthday in April and my Dad's birthday in June, sometimes he would stay through for both. He would come back in October for his birthday as well. He was tremendously helpful to both and often the target of both of their jokes, but he loved the interactions and often gave out as much as he got with much laughter!”
