Obituary
MCFARLAND / KING - John Thomas “Tom” Caviezel III, age 77, passed away on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2020, at Wisconsin Veterans Home in King, Wis. He was born on Oct. 5, 1943, in New Britain, Conn., the son of John and Dorothy (Lind) Caviezel.
Tom graduated in 1962 from East Peoria Community High School in Peoria, Ill. He served in the U.S. Army from 1966 until 1971. He spent time in Thailand working as an Army medic.
Family was very important to Tom. He loved being grandpa to his four granddaughters. Tom was truly their biggest fan, which was especially evident when it came to going to their dance performances, musicals and plays - he always arrived two hours early for the best seat in the house and the closest spot in the parking lot! Tom liked spending time at the McFarland House Café, enjoyed golf and was a huge Bears Fan.
Tom is survived by his children, Ken (Crissy) Caviezel and Kim (Jim) McNulty; sister, Linda (Jack) Luceti; brother, Ken Caviezel; four granddaughters, Carley Caviezel, Molly Caviezel, Maggie McNulty and Mary Kate McNulty; and former spouse, Marge Caviezel. He was preceded in death by his parents; and sister-in-law, Jeanette Caviezel.
Burial will be held at Southern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Union Grove at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 24, 2020. Memorials may be gifted in John's name to Wisconsin Veterans Home in King at www.wisvets.com.
The family would like to thank the MacArthur Hall staff for their care of John at the Wisconsin Veterans Home in King. We would also like to thank, Dr. Steven Howard at UW Hospital, whose knowledge and care gave us extra years with our dad.

Dear Caviezel Family, I met Tom at my brother Frank and future sister-in-law Janet’s wedding rehearsal and dinner. We became friends quickly because of Tom’s wonderful personality. We became so close in fact that Tom was a groomsmen at Karen and my wedding. Four couples formed something we called “Club”. We had rotating dinners at each other’s homes. We paid dues and once a year went out to dinner like real grownups. While we were all raising families we had time to enjoy our families together. Such good times for the “Clubbies” and the children fondly known as “Clubettes”. We were always there for each other. Help moving, painting or whatever we were always together. Tom will be missed by his family and friends and everyone who knew him. Love to the entire Caviezel Family with our deepest sympathy.
