Obituary of Paul Caplan

Caplan, Paul Passed away peacefully with his family singing by his side at the St. Catharines General on Friday, June 21, 2019, in his 74th year, beloved husband of Karen, loving father of Barry (Lena), Sheli (Eddie Stark), Stuart (Theresa) and Jennifer (Dennis Stefan). Loved Zaidie of Seth, Noah, Joshua, Ella and Amelia. Dear brother of Beverley and Fred (Marion). Fondly remembered by his nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents Mary and Harry Caplan and his brother Bruce. Dad, numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 are going to miss you. He loved family and lived within a forty block radius his whole life. Dad was a very quiet, outwardly unemotional (but we knew how much he loved everyone, for sure and absolutely), sweet, baseball and basketball loving man (especially his beloved Blue Jays who made him so proud in 1992 and 1993). To honour our Dad please hug your loved ones and take a trip to Avondale in the Country for ice cream. Dad was protective and fiercely proud of his family and instilled those values in his family. He and Karen celebrated fifty wonderful years of marriage last year and proudly celebrated one of his grandson’s Barmitzvahs. A funeral service will be held at Patrick J. Darte Funeral Chapel, 39 Court Street, St. Catharines (905-685-6584) on Monday, June 24, 2019 at 11am.
