James Glen Caudle, age 79, of Macks Creek, Missouri, and formerly of Xenia, Illinois, passed away January 11, 2023, at Flora Gardens Care Center. He was born July 11, 1943, in Xenia, the son of Kenneth and Lillian (Lee) Caudle. He attended Xenia grade school and Flora High School, and at the age of 16, enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He valued his service highly and attained the rank of E-6. He proudly served his country whenever and wherever he was needed and was awarded many medals and honors for his service. Jim loved fishing and started at an early age using a stick, a string, and a small rock for bait. His "fishing hole" was the family birdbath built by his dad. Of course, he always caught the biggest fish, and his arms could stretch really long. He enjoyed his love of fishing and passed it on to many children including his pride and joy, his great-granddaughter Josie. Jim was a special person, and his stories will be missed by many. He is survived by his wife of 20 years: Do
