Joseph Quigley Cael

I've just heard about your Dad's passing. I really enjoyed his lively stories back in the day at some of the family picnics. He was full of life & had so many interests. Sending prayers & hugs to all. God Bless Cynthia & Daniel Kelly

I met Mr. Cael while working at the Summit Aviation airport in Middletown. He would come into the airport during the weekends I worked and talk to me. When I became pregnant, he would bring me yogurt. He was the sweetest man and I always enjoyed talking to him. My condolences to his family.

I met Joe about 1979-80 while hanging around Wilmington airport. I was a low time private pilot and he caught my eye as he was restoring his T-34. We engaged in BS, and I could see he and I had the same passion for flying and he would soon get me to join the CAP. I learned an awful lot as he would give me ground and simulator training at his house on his days off. (Stage road as i recall, and house he built ) There I met his wife & some of his kids he adored. We would both soon share our similar types of loss that gave us a closer bond. He always inspired me with all his energy to not waste time. Last few years we would talk on the phone when he would answer , and I regret not not stopping by his airport in Florida on our many recent trips to SW Florida. I hope the remaining family members can take stock in how "old school" he was, but know his love of all of them was really true and authentic.
Take time to feed your sweet tooth, be with your lost family now in heaven

I loved flying with Joe on the Delaware Air Guard C-130's. I will always remember him placing the beat-up fake chicken under the windshield wiper after a flight and telling the Maintenence guys we had a "bird strike". God bless you Joe. Jim Jones
