Casper Martin Czyzeski, 86, died May 13, 2017 .

He was born Oct. 28, 1930, in Glasgow, Montana, the son of Peter and
Victoria Czyzeski. He grew up in the Glasgow area, living there
until age 56. Cap married Patsy Jennings in 1949. Together they
raised five children.

Cap owned and operated a residential and commercial contracting
business, “Cap’s Painting.” He started at Opheim AFB and later went
to Glasgow AFB as the base was being developed in the 1960s. He was
dubbed in the community of Glasgow as the “fastest brush in town.”
Together, he and wife Pat owned and operated the Rustic Lodge on
Highway 2 from 1963 to 1972, and The Heritage Apartments and
Daughters 4 dress shop until the 1980s.

In January 1987, Cap’s Painting relocated to Lake Havasu City, where
Cap and his son, Joe, established a partnership. Cap retired from
painting in 1998 and transitioned to semi-retirement by operating
Cap’s Vending until 2010. Living in a community of “snowbirds,” he
also cared for residents’ homes while they were away for the summer.

Until September 2016, Cap lived independently. Several health-
related issues evidenced a need for assisted living. He resided at
Prestige and Gems Assisted Living facilities in Lake Havasu City
until an accidental fall took his life.

Cap is preceded in death by his parents; wife Patsy in 1999; sister
Dorothy Egosque; daughter Lori Murphy; and an infant son.

He is survived by sister, Judy Miller, of Glasgow, Montana; son Joe
(Erika) Czyzeski of Lake Havasu City, Arizona; daughters Sandra
(Bob) Adamson of Castle Rock, Colorado, Toni (Jim) Hope, of Butte,
Montana, Angela (Brian) Kiefer of Corning, California, 11
grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.

A celebration of life is October in Lake Havasu City. Burial is in
the family cemetery plot in Glasgow, Montana. Donations may be sent
to any hospice care facility or charity of one’s choice.
