Bob Caudle Obituary
In addition to his love for his family and friends he will be remembered for his love of music. During his years of playing his guitar he had the pleasure of performing all over the West Coast and Texas, playing many venues with up-and-coming artists. He also had the privilege of playing with some of music's legends including Roy Orbison. He taught guitar lessons to countless people in the Permian Basin for over 50 years and as a result, built many lasting relationships with people from all walks of life.
He is preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his (4) sons, Brad Caudle of Odessa, Craig Caudle & wife Daphne of Odessa, Kent Caudle & wife Aimee of San Antonio, Bob Caudle Jr of Athens, TX; daughter, Candy Peterson & husband Niels of Gunbarrel City, TX & (12) grandchildren.
A graveside service will be held at 10:00 am Wednesday, January 28, 2015 at Sunset Memorial Gardens with Pastor Barry Evans officiating.

My daughter Tessa took lessons from your Dad in the 90's. I enjoyed listening as well and would sleep through some lessons rocking in his chair. My dad Clayton Shuffield although 15 yrs older played stand up bass with Roy Orbison and Bob.. We shared stories and memories of their friendship. Truly an outstanding musician and friend..I know his is playing his guitar and smiling, waiting for us to join him in eternal peace..
God Bless
