Dr McCaul was my pediatrician growing up. He was always so caring and made me better when I was at my worst - usually with a joke or two! Thanks for being there for me and my folks too.

Many years ago, Dr. McCaul examined my infant daughter and told me she needed to be seen by an orthopedist. He was right. After three years of therapy, she grew up to run track and jump hurdles at college. Without Dr. McCaul's advice that would ave never happened. I will always be grateful to him. May he rest in peace.

Dear Colette I am very sad to hear abour Kevin's death on the day after his 95th birthday. We tried to keep up our friendship over the years since he left Ireland. I came across his obituary just now with my daughter when trying to make contact. I have very fond memories of Kevin and his family in Letterkenny during our school years and while at university. I even came across some photos of himself and my self in France in 1951 if ever you or you family would like to see them. Fond regards and so sorry again for you loss. These are sad times.

My deepest condolences on the passing of Dr. McCaul. Dr. McCaul was doctor to all four of my children. He will always be remembered as a gentle, caring doctor who made himself available after hours and always there to reassure young parents that all was well. Rest in peace, Dr. McCaul and thank you for all you did for your young patients.

Dr McCaul helped so many families with children during his time in practice that there are few who did not see him at one time or another. He will always be missed by an entire generation raised in this town during the 1970s for certain. Our condolences to his family.

I don't know if you all remember me-my parents were neighbors on Sasqua Road & you guys, the Conroys & Kavanewskis used to love to come over & play with my son when he was little. Your Dad was also his pediatrician. Such fond memories. We're sending all our thoughts & prayers.
