I just happened across this news, a little late in the game. I knew Rodney from when we worked together in Lawrence, KS at the Reuter Organ Company. A great guy and fun to work with. Rest in peace, old friend.

I only knew Dr. Caldwell through his being a VE here in Chattanooga, but he was always great to work with...and not only did he fix things for family/friends, it was a fun hobby to him. He will be sorely missed.

The recent death of my husband makes it all too raw to adequately express my heart felt sorrow for your loss. I TRULY UNDERSTAND YOUR LOSS:( Sending a hug because you will need many! I will pray for peace during those closed eyed moments for when your heart breaks in sadness... My children thought he was an excellent teacher! ❤
