STELLA — Grover Cleveland (G.C.) Caddell Jr., born on June 29, 1928, died peacefully on Friday, Oct. 16. A native of Hoffman, and most recently living in Stella, he is now reunited with Peggy, his wife of nearly 70 years.
G.C. was lovingly attended during his last days by his sons, Douglas and Grover Cleveland III (Buddy); his daughters-in-law Patsy and Deb; and his very special caregiver, Betty.
He was predeceased by his parents Mamie B. and Grover C; his sister Mabel and brothers Morris and Langdon.
With his gruff voice and warm heart, G.C. always had a kind word in greeting and never missed an opportunity to ensure all was right in your world. He was an adventurous entrepreneur throughout his life. He farmed, raised cattle, ran an Esso station, a sawmill, and worked with the Army Corps of Engineers, while teaching flying lessons and doing charter flights as a pilot in his spare time. G.C. developed problems with his eyesight in his 50s, so he turned his entrepreneurial spirit into land development. Until his last days, known as the “Land Man,” he was legendary for buying, selling and developing land locally.
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, there will be no church services. The burial will be at 2 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22 for family.
In lieu of flowers, please direct donations to the Hoffman Baptist Church, P.O. Box 64, Hoffman, NC 28347
