Dear Mrs Caplan, Scott and Debbie,and the entire Caplan Family,

After having the distinct pleasure and honor of being with "Uncle Willie" on several occasions, we are deeply saddened by your loss and Bets and I want to extend to you our heartfelt condolences. Mr. Caplan was a wonderful man to be around and brought joy and laughter to all who were lucky enough to be with him. May he rest in peace. Brian and Betsy Goetz

Uncle Willie - I will miss your jokes, your passion for life and eternal optimism and encouragement. I know you are in heaven trading jokes with St. Peter and manning the bar serving wing dings. Love, Janice Jackovic

Even though it was somewhat expected, we were very sorry to hear that Bill passed away. He was loved by all and he was a great person without any doubt. He was a real and true friend to us and many others.


I am sure that he died in peace. Based on the conversation we had with him last week, I am sure he was prepared to leave us and go on to bigger and better places. What an attitude he had towards life and the hereafter. I am sure that God has a place for him near his...

Uncle Willie, you were one of the very best in every way: a gentlemen; dedicated father, grandfather and businessman; terrific raconteur and sportsman. A joy to be around. We'll remember you fondly.

Dear Terry and family, it is with sadness to hear of Bill's passing. He was a member of our Southwest Senior golf league for some time and will certainly be missed. I phoned him often during our 2010 golf season and Bill told me " keep me on the roster" even though he was unable to play. This year 2011, his name will remain on my league roster in his memory. Our prayers for a great man.
