In honor of Caleb: I wish we’d had more time with you. We’ll never forget your smile and laughter and look forward to seeing you on the other side.
My thoughts and prayers are with Caleb’s family, I am so sorry for your loss. I really enjoyed the times Caleb worked on my crew, I only wish it had been more often as I only worked with him a few days the past year. He had a great attitude and brought a positive energy to the job site that made his presence enjoyable every time. In early 2023, I requested Caleb to help me on a brief, difficult job in downtown Kansas City. I barely knew him at the time but I knew he was capable and he didn’t disappoint. Caleb was a great addition to the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and I am thankful I got to know him for a short time.
