Mr Caswell was my Senior English Instructor at Eli Whitney Class of 1975. He has a blondish Jar Head Crew Cut and was very stoic. He was so laser focused on teaching that we never joked around in his class and it was heartwarming when now and then we made him smile. He was always available for help and I'm sorry I never took advantage of that. Thank you Mr. Caswell. May Our Lord Jesus Christ rest his soul.

May Hale rest in peace and Charlotte find comfort in this difficult time. Hale had a smile that could light up any room. I met them at Formosa and enjoyed their company.

I had Mr. Caswell for my English Instructor in my Senior Years at Eli Whitney, class of 1975. He was a great Instructor. Everyone respected him. He was reserved and refined, rather stoic but did crack a smile sometimes. He offered his help generously when he saw a need for it. He mattered. May Our Lord Jesus Christ rest his soul.
