William James Caddy
William James Caddy, age 82, passed away at his home on Sunday, March 22, 2015 at the age of 82. He lived a full life and had no regrets. He served in the US Marine Corps from 1950-1952 as a radio repairman stationed in Korea during the Korean Conflict. He was lucky enough to never be closer than hearing distance to the front lines because of his specialty. After his discharge, he earned his MSW from the University of Minnesota – Duluth and worked as a social worker in California, Minnesota and Washington. He retired in 1984 from Cass County Social Services in Walker, MN but could not stay away. His last five years of work were with the Veteran’s Administration in Walla Walla, WA, which he retired from in 1995. He and his wife, Marie, moved back to Minnesota where Marie died in July 1996 from cancer. He lived the next 19 years with his son, Bill, and grandchildren, Thomas, Jacob and Jonathon. Per his wishes, he was cremated and his remains will be scattered in Lake Kabetogama. He is survived by his son, 3 grandchildren, Sister Lois Eaden of Seattle, Washington and brother John of Forest Lake, MN, several cousins, nieces and nephews.
