Herman had a charmed childhood growing up in the small town of Graham where he was born on March 2, 1936. Being closely connected to family and friends on a daily basis gave a stability that was carried throughout his life.  A life rich in joy, experiences, love of God, family, friends, play and hard work. The majority of his work life was in the oil field industry and later restoring torque converters out of his shop. He was active throughout his life in church fellowship and served for a time as a youth minister. He passed away on his beloved piece of land which had been his residence for the past 44 years. He got a smile out of a lot of people.

Herman was preceded in death by his generous and loving parents John and Loree Caldwell, three younger sisters, Virginia Huffman, Martha Caldwell and Sharon Huffman all natives of Graham.

He is survived by his beloved wife Wanda Caldwell, daughters DeLinda Austin and Janna Turner, and grandchildren and great grandchildren, Zachary Austin his wife Laura, grandsons Josh & Jacob, Jake Strickland, Chase Austin and son Mason, Caleb Strickland and sons Sean & Malachi and daughter Jadah, and granddaughter Candace Turner.

People wishing to honor Herman’s life long commitment to family and community could do a good deed  for someone in his honor.
