About Richard Lee Caffey:

KERRVILLE - Richard Lee Caffey, 43, of Kerrville, died Friday, Feb. 16, 2001, in his home following an illness. He was born in Elgin, Texas, July 1, 1957, and raised in Manor, Texas.

Richard was a singin? and guitar-playin? cowboy who was a lover of music and a lover of life. He was a carpenter whose passion was building furniture for the people he loved. He was an extremely charismatic person who was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Richard was a man who passionately and eternally loved his wife; but mostly, he was a daddy who loved swinging in the swings and sliding down the slide in the park with his kids; who was not afraid to throw his hat on the floor for his kids to play with or allow them to help him strum a tune on his old guitar. It will be his children who will miss him most of all.

The service will be in the Chapel at Newby Funeral Home, 209 N. Ave. C, Elgin, Texas, Wednesday, Feb. 21, at 2 p.m. Burial will follow at Pleasant Grove Cemetery in Elgin.
