  4. My deepest sympathy in this time of great loss of a wonderful man. He was a joy to care for. Many laughs were had. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

  5. I have known John Caudill more than 18 years. He was an amazing man ! I
    visited him regularly before and after his residency at Pinelake Nursing Home. He was always
    very kind to me and I loved his humor and the stories he would tell about his life. He knew he could
    never leave the Nursing home due to his decline in health, but never complained. He loved the staff
    and enjoyed sharing humor with them. He was like a family member at the nursing home. Pinelake was extremely good to John.
    Although, some of the children didn’t visit or couldn’t visit regularly he never complained. One daughter visited him everyday which was a Blessing. He was happy to see his friends and any family members including his sister and brother n law .
    I will miss John , but know he is in a better place with his loving wife. What a GEM ! J.R. Hill
