John F. Caldwell

My best-est pal, husband of lovely Lady Diane, father of wonderful Kristan and Grand daddy of his beloved grand child - he was a funny funny man and a most likable individual to all. His memories fill my mind in so many ways, including our regular lunches at NYC´s and Sinatra´s greatest Italian Restaurant Patsey´s ... wonderful wonderful. Love ya´ Johnny!

My dear friend I miss the laughs and the joy you spread on a daily basis. I am always thinking about and your smile. I send prayers and love to Diane and Kristen

Since John’s passing the rare combination of his humor expressed through drawings and captions can be appreciated as a body of work. It is my good fortune to see examples everyday and I marvel at his imagination and sense of the image. A scholarly retrospective is most certainly worthwhile.

He is my favourite artist, I saw his work first on Mad Mexico magazine and loved it.
so glad he will live eternally through his work.

His cartoons are still living all over the place.

It was a great pleasure to know John and to discuss his work especially in the company of other professionals at The Society Of Illustrators. His work is appreciated everyday in our collection of original cartoon art and was prominently featured last year at WIlkes University. Our bes to Diane.

Sorry for John's too early departure, and condolences to family and friends...but, knowing him from the Old Days in NYC and the National Lampoon, etc., I instantly wondered what sort of cartoons he'd come up with about his own passing. Is it ok to have this little smile in a dark time?

John was a gentle, inspired humorist whose work is his public legacy. Our infrequent meetings are now significant memories. It was a privilege to know him. Andrew Sordoni

Diane, Just became aware of John's passing. So sorry for your loss. I remember John well as he and Marty Dion were friends throughhigh school. Unfortunately we loss Marty several years ago under similar circumstances. Thoughts and prayers are with you. KMA, Class of 65...
