From David Chappell's Facebook post:
It's with a very heavy heart that I post that Bob Caudle, The Voice of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling, passed away ovenight at the age of 95. Of all the wonderful things that came out of the Mid-Atlantic Gateway, getting to know and becoming friends with Bob was number one for me on that lengthy list.
I could go on for days talking about the positives that Bob brought to the world of professional wrestling and beyond, but one thing stands out to me above all the rest. I have never, not one time, ever heard anybody say a negative word about Bob Caudle. In the professional wrestling fraternity, that is totally unheard of. What an amazing legacy to leave behind of how you lived your life and treated people.
Bob was family for Diana and I, and today we mourn the loss of a cherished family member. For me, another part of my childhood is gone forevermore. Growing up watching Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling every Saturday afternoon, the wrestlers would come and go but Bob was the one constant that you could count on always being there. That same thought process stayed with me to the present as pro wrestling evolved and so many wrestlers from the Mid-Atlantic era have passed away. That's the hardest part about today...that constant is no longer constant.
But the dulcet tones of Bob's voice, that I vividly hear in my mind as I pen this, will always be a constant memory and reminder to me of the extraordinary person that Bob Caudle was to so many. ❤️
