    I’m so sorry for your loss. Although no surprise at his age, it is still a deep loss.

    I worked at Guy’s foods from 1977 to 1980 and talked to Mr. Caldwell in the warehouse many times. Most of the older employee’s addressed him as Mr. Newman! Took me a while to figure out who he was? He was a hands on man when it came to work and once took me (I was their only fork lift operator for the warehouse) and one other employee to US Cold Storage to address some inventory issues with him driving a Guy’s route truck and us riding in the back! A very down to earth man. So glad to find out he was blessed with a long life 💖
