CAI DWELL FOR HIS MORE THAN SEVENTEEN (17) YEARS OF DEDICATED AND SELFLESS PUBLIC SERVICE TO THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA. V btrt4ll, the Common Council proudly acknowledges that James R. Caldwell began his public service career with the Building Department in 1987; and Vbtrt4g, 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; ' 'IlD btV010, 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 'Il btrtgO, 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; of being a friend one could lean on for support at any time of the day or night; for providing encouragement to a non -flier; for always finding a "straight answer" when asked difficult and sensitive questions - -- -these are just some of the many examples of this kind and gentle giant who has left an indelible impact on those he touched.
