Willard Caetta Obituary
His education growing up went far beyond Mickey Bright Elementary, Goodrich Jr. High and Garfield High. With blind parents, he learned the virtues of respect, responsibility and honesty as a caregiver at an early age. He excelled at baseball as a youth and at the high school level. As an adult, softball became his sport of choice and was a member of the Smith Electric and the Jenota Club teams among others. Will retired from the Twinsburg Stamping Plant (Chrysler) after 30 years and was a longtime member at Hillwood Chapel in Uniontown. More than anything, he loved his family, friends and dogs. To know him was to love him.
Will was preceded in death by his parents, Casper and Isabelle Caetta. He is survived by his loving wife of 48 years, Carolyn Caetta; daughter, Glenna (James) Caetta-Stewart; sons, Willard (Chris Boynton) Caetta, Jr. and Daniel (Tamaria) Caetta; grandchildren, Nicole Wakehouse, Krista, Crystal, Logan, and Savannah Caetta; great-granddaughter, Isabella Caetta; and many special extended family members and friends.
Friends may call from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday, December 28, 2012 at NEWCOMER FUNERAL HOME, 131 N. Canton Rd., Akron, OH 44305 where a funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, December 29, 2012.

When i was a young boy, Will's father, Casper, was a man that i admired very much. I recently painted uncle Cap's portrait to honor him and his family. I have visited Will a few times these past years and loved his company and humor. My prayers and good thoughts are with his family now. Please know that Will is living now in the company of God's angels and saints.
