Obituary
Harold Carlton Caldwell, Sr. of Parker, Florida was called home by his Heavenly Father on Wednesday, September 9, 2015. Carlton was born on January 27, 1928 in Jasper, Florida to Ben M. Caldwell, Sr. and Tobitha Clardy Caldwell. He grew up working in the family's printing and newspaper business, publishing The Jasper News. When he was 16, a new girl, Carolyn Ann Overstreet, moved to town and as soon as he met her, he knew she was to become the love of his life. They were married on July 2, 1949 and for the next 24 years he served in the military while he and Ann raised their family. Following two years in the US Army's 82nd Airborne Division, he entered the US Air Force. Recognizing his printing background, the Air Force assigned him to the printing career field. He was a long-time supervisor in the Tyndall AFB print shop. After retiring from the Air Force, he briefly ran the print shop at Gulf Coast Community College before returning to Tyndall AFB as a civil servant. The most important aspect of his life was his family; he was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle.
Carlton was preceded in death by his wife of nearly 66 years, Carolyn Ann Overstreet Caldwell; his parents; two brothers, Ben Caldwell, Jr. and Stafford Caldwell; six sisters, Juanita Hughes, Ollie Mae Perkins, Ann Malpas, Ruth Vann, Jeri Brooke and Martha Mitchell; and one grandson, Tim Hardy.
Survivors include two daughters, Cynthia Ellen and husband Mike Weston, and Nancy Caldwell; two sons, Hal and wife Mavis Caldwell, and Richard and wife Nelda Caldwell. He leaves behind four beloved grandchildren; grandson Ken and wife Rendi Caldwell; three granddaughters, Jill and husband Brock Felthoff, Ali and husband Kris Radican, and Katie and husband Bryan Chapman. He was blessed with twelve great-grandchildren and one great-great-granddaughter. Additionally, he leaves behind a sister-in-law, Nora Evelyn Caldwell; brother-in-law, Dr. William Mitchell; and a host of nieces and nephews in the Caldwell family of Jasper, Florida.
Funeral services were held in Jasper, Florida on Monday, September 14, 2015 at the Harry T. Reid Funeral Home Chapel with Rev. Roger Hutto officiating.
Interment followed at Evergreen Cemetery, Jasper, Florida.
Memorial contributions in his name may be made to Christ Church of Panama City, 733 Mulberry Avenue, Panama City, Florida 32401 or to a charity of your choice.
