Dear Mary and family,
Our sincere condolences to you and to all of your family.
Don & I have such wonderful memories of card games and dinner gatherings we would have with you & Bill. Bill always made our evenings more pleasurable when he would hand us Lotto scratchoffs & would take pictures with the getups he had for us. He seemed to take such delight in making others happy. What a very special man. May God bless you and all of your family.

With love, Don & Kathy Cramer

To the family of Bill McCaffrey--

Although I never met Bill in person during my tenure at AXA Equitable, I was always aware of his concern and awareness of everyone in the Equitable family. I enjoyed his yearly birthday greetings, which were just one mark of his humanity.

My thoughts are with your during this time. Know that he has left memories with many.

Dear Mary and Family,

I had the pleasure of knowing Bill for many years at The Equitable. I also recall my many walks with Bob Sheehan and friends on the Long Beach boardwalk, when occasionally, Bill would spot us from the balcony.
Mary, my wife Lucy and I send our sincerest condolences to you and the family and be assured we will keep all of you in our prayers and thoughts during these difficult days.
God Bless all of you.

Most sincerely, Lucy and Al Mullery
