Robert "Bob" Lee Caldwell, of Manton, passed away on Friday, March 3, 2023. He was 86 years old.

Bob was born on September 12, 1936, in Manton, Michigan to Lawrence and Florence (Clawson) Caldwell. Bob joined the Navy for a few years, then worked as a builder throughout his entire life. He worked on many of the tall buildings in Grand Rapids and surrounding area and built many homes for himself and others. Bob enjoyed fishing, hunting, and visiting with anybody that would take a moment to chat with him. He loved going to the local restaurant for breakfast and order a 'surprise'.
