William (Willie/Cappy) Caporizzo, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend passed away on May 20, 2026, at the age of 87. He was born on August 29, 1938, in Stamford, Connecticut.

Willie graduated from Stamford High School in 1956 and was a proud member of a group of lifelong friends known as The Boys of ‘56. He worked as a plumber with his father and his son and eventually took over the business known as Cappy’s Plumbing & Heating. Over the years he loved playing golf, going to the casino, traveling, spending winters in Vero Beach, Florida and spending time with his family and friends. Family meant everything to him and as a friend, he would give you the shirt off his back if needed.

Willie is survived by Angela, his loving wife of 42 wonderful years; his children, Sherri Caporizzo (Danny) and Scott Caporizzo (Susie); stepdaughters Anne O’Hagan (Mark) and Christine Adonetti (Nick). He also leaves behind his grandchildren Billy (Tara), Scotty (Erika), Tami, Kelly (Devin), Ryan (Belinda), Sean, and great grandchildren Madison, Bronson, Maeve and Ryder, who were all the love of his life. He is also survived by his brother-in-law Peter Brown, his dear cousin Vita Ienner, brother-in-law Frank Milito (Lorraine), sister-in-law Gloria Milito, several nieces and nephews, extended family, and many close friends.

Willie was preceded in death by his father William P. Caporizzo and his mother Mollie (Gerardi) Caporizzo and his sister Margo Brown.

Willie was truly a “one of a kind” person who lit up a room when he walked in. He will be forever loved and missed by all who knew him.

A memorial service for Willie will be announced at a later date.
