Celebrating the Life of

Henry Caldwell

November 4, 1944  —  January 20, 2025

Obituary

“He built things to last — bridges, businesses, and a family that adored him.”

Henry Caldwell was a civil engineer and a devoted grandfather who measured twice in everything he did. He gave a firm handshake, a fair deal, and better advice than most people asked for. He loved old maps, slow Sundays, and a full workshop. He leaves a family, a town dotted with his work, and many who called him a friend.
