Patrick Henry Caudle
He was husband to Clara; father of ten; grandfather to 26; great-grandfather to 44; and great-great-grandfather to four more.
He was born in Davenport, Washington, to Manlove Graham and Mary Alice Caudle on March 17, 1918. At age 12, the family moved Pat with seven older siblings, Sid, Claude, Graham, John, Willard, Frances, and Effie, to Cashmere, and then settled in Everett. He married, Clara Sharpe of Marysville on September 18, 1936. They lived in Everett, celebrating their 69th wedding anniversary last fall. Patrick loved to hunt and fish, and he loved telling stories just as much. During the war he guarded the Navy Ammo facility in Marysville. After, he worked in Everett at Hulbert Mill and Weyerhaeuser, retiring in 1981 as a lumber grader.
Patrick was preceded in death by children, Ronald Caudle, and Julie Caudle, both of Everett.
He is survived by his wife, Clara; children, April (David) Andree, of Edmonds, Kathy (John) Rodgers, of Seattle, Ken (Rena), of Redding, California, Jean (Jim) Hanrahan, of Port Angeles, Patti (Rod) Downie, of Fairfax, Virginia, Richard Caudle, and Sandy Caudle, both of Everett, and Sue (Bob) Tolbert, of Phoenix, Arizona.
Funeral and celebration of life will be held at 2 p.m., today, February 2, at Evergreen Funeral Home Chapel with reception after.

Daddy,
It's been a month since you left us and I miss you so much. I miss your smile, your laughter, your teasing, your music, your stories, but most of all your "bear hugs".
Luckily I have such great memories to help me through the hard times. You were the greatest Dad ever and we all realize how luck we were to have you.
Your birthday is coming up and we will miss your humerous green beard and hair. No one will ever forget it. You always made us laugh! Cheers to green beards, green beers and to you Daddy! The best Dad ever! I will love you always!
Until we meet again.
Love, your daughter April

Well Daddy, we've managed to make it through the first 30 days since you left us. It hasn't been easy, but with the prayers,love and friendship of all of the people who knew you and loved you so much, we are getting through it. The outpouring of good wishes and rememberances from all of your many friends might have surprised you..but not me. Everyone that knew you loved you, but none more than us, your kids and family. Thank you for giving so much of yourself to all of us. You have taught us so much about giving and loving. You truely were a great person. Every one of us will love you and miss you and feel the pain of our loss forever.

My deepest sympathy to all of us, myself included. Patrick has been a driving force in all our lives. Wherever he was there was laughter and smiles.
To Clara and family, your dear husband, father and grandfather meant alot to everyone he came in contact with. His family stories will be repeated now by family members instead of Patrick, but you will all smile and laugh, remembering how he told the story.
I remember his coming up to my folks house and visiting with my dad. Those two together were like having your own comedy team. Each trying to out do each other, but somehow only managing to ignite a new story. They were buds.
I will always remember his hearty laugh, his warm smile, good heart, but most of all his green beard.
May Patrick's laughter ring in your hearts and his smile from above warm you, and the knowledge of his love comfort you.

To Everyone: I'm so sorry that we were not able to attend the service today for Grandpa. I was looking forward to seeing everyone, and having a chance to reconnect with you all. Please accept my hearfelt condolences and love in your time of grieving and sadness. I will always wonder how my life would have been influenced had I gotten the opportunity to know and love Grandpa the way you all have. But I also believe that God knows and has a plan for me to get to know him in His time and in a much less complicated place. I look forward to spending an eternity laughing, fishing and sharing with him someday. Kenny and Dawn send their best to all of you also. To Kathy, John, Jeff and Heather, my heart goes out to you guys. May you find some comfort in this time. Thank you for thinking of me.

Our deepest sympathy to all of you in the loss of your dear husband, father and grandfather. Great Uncle Pat was an awesome man. I have fond memories of many weekends shooting pool at grandpa and grandma Caudle's house in Marysville. He had such a warm smile and a good heart. I still remember shooting my first bull elk with him and dad up in Hamilton, and catching him fishing out at Lake Cassidy in recent years. May your own sweet memories of Pat comfort you always.

My Mother(Lola Forsman)is sad to be unable to attend the memorial due to her health, but I am so glad that Mom, Pat and Clara were able to get together not so very go. Pat played his harmonica and we all had a great time....A good memory.

Grandpa,
Thanks for being such a wonderful "little grandpa"!!! Remember when I was about 11 and I thought I could out run you???? I couldn't could I?!?! I miss you so much already, but the memories, and love that I carry in my heart, will be with me always to make me smile when I think of you. Thanks for all of the bone crushing bear hugs and the not so painful ones as well.
I love you for always, I love you forever.
