A beautiful memorial service was held for our friend Jackie Caudle on Thursday, May 8, 2025. Jackie was the sweet wife of Bob Caudle. They were married 76 years. Jackie died on April 24, 2025.

Jackie was fondly remembered by family and friends.
There was a special moment after the service at the reception. David Crockett approached Bob, who at this point was exhausted, but he lit up like a Christmas tree when he saw David. They had a long embrace.

It was nice to see Mike Caudle again, Bob's son, who inducted Bob into the inaugural class of the NWA Wrestling Legends Hall of Heroes back in the mid-2000s in Charlotte. It was also nice to meet Bob, Jr. and other members of Bob's family, representing four generations of at this service.
