I just found out from the Niles North class of 1966 reunion that Sheldon is on the list of deceased classmates. I knew him from school and have not seen him since 1966. We were not friend in high school but I knew who he was and I can still picture how he looked back then. I was saddened to see his name on that list. Shalom Sheldon!

To the Caplan Family -- I am sorry to hear about your loss. I had the pleasure of meeting Shel when he came through the education program at Allstate several years ago. I really enjoyed his upbeat and professional approach to what he did. May memories help you through this difficult time. Felicia (Goldberg) Gilg

Dear Jan and Kelly,We are so sorry for your loss in a great husband and father. There are so many memories of him that bring a smile and a tear at the same time. One is on "game nights" he always won at trivial pursuit as he was smarter than the rest of us,love,Ed and Michelle Cullen
