Caldwell began his public service career with the Building Department in 1987; and WHEREAS, we are indeed fortunate that then Mayor Joseph E. Kernan had the foresight to hire James R. Caldwell away from the Building Department, so that Jim could use his special people skills as the Mayor's Administrative Assistant for Neighborhoods; WHEREAS, over the course of Jim's many years of dedicated and caring public service, James R. Caldwell has more than earned the title of being City's "Chief Trouble- Shooter Par Excellence "; and as now Lieutenant Governor Kernan recalled he "...played the invaluable role of bringing a human side to city government "; and WHEREAS, we will truly miss Jim, but we have a multitude of recollections and fond memories of seeing him responding to every major police and fire incident in the City over the years; of always responding with compassion, understanding and respect for persons in distress or need;
