CALDWELL: Harold Lloyd “Shorty” of Hensall

Posted By Haskett Funeral Homes On January 30, 2023 @ 12:17 PM In Exeter,Obituary | 142 Comments

CALDWELL: Harold Lloyd “Shorty” of Hensall

Passed away at South Huron Hospital on Monday, January 30, 2023, of Hensall at the age of 91. Beloved husband of the late Wilma (Kyle) Caldwell. Proud father of Jamie and Barb Caldwell, Todd and Krista Caldwell, and Missy Caldwell. Adored grandpa of Brittany Caldwell, Amber and Shane Dougall; Nathan, and Dakota Caldwell; Bridget, and Griffin Rowe and great-grandpa of Rachael, Emily, and Megan Dougall. Dear brother-in-law of Val Kyle. Fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents William and Edna (Sararas) Caldwell, and siblings, Ron, Shirley, Jean, and Bob.

Shorty was an avid card player, he enjoyed a good game of pepper and solo. There were very few hockey games and curling matches missed on the TV. Shorty worked at Northlander for many years and also kept busy with farming. Upon retirement and moving off the farm, he kept busy with his yard and helping other farmers out with plowing. Right up to the age of 90, Shorty had a garden at home, growing his famous sweet corn and potatoes. Back when we had “real” winters, he enjoyed getting out on the groomer and making the trails perfect for snowmobilers coming from near and far.

Keeping with Shorty’s wishes, a private family interment will be held at Baird’s Cemetery in the spring.

Donations to Canadian Cancer Society or Diabetes Canada would be appreciated by the family.

Rest in Peace Shorty !

Jamie & Barb, Todd & Krista and Missy:

So sorry to hear of your father’s passing. Quite often when we would go to the beach at Bayfield there would be cousin Shorty sitting in his car watching the goings on. We enjoyed our visits with him there over the past couple of years. We will miss seeing him. Praying for you all.

Condolence from Jack & Elaine Chipchase on February 2nd, 2023 10:18 AM

Hearing of Shorty’s passing brought back so many memories of those old Hensall days. We remember when General Coach made the trailer floors in the old Church shed on Queen St.
Whenever kids went by, there would be a big yell from Shorty, Harold Parker and Wilmer Dalrymple and lots of laughter.
To Jamie and all your family, we send sincere sympathy.

Condolence from Bryan Baker & Christine Nelemans on February 3rd, 2023 10:27 AM

Jamie & Barb, Todd & Krista, Missy and Families; Our sincerest sympathy on the passing of Shorty! He was a long term member of the Northlander – Custom Trailers family and helped keep the wheels turning in the factory for many years.
So many gatherings and fun times at the Caldwell homestead and Shorty always welcomed us with open arms. Lot’s of teasing and laughter and many times we had him rubbing his head in complete dismay! Eventually we were old enough to share drinks together and socialize and through all those years Shorty added to the fun and great times! These memories will be cherished forever!
Wishing you all strength, courage and comfort in the days ahead, thoughts and prayers are with you all!

Jamie & Barb, Todd & Krista, Missy & families,

I have so many great memories of Shorty while getting up to shenanigans with Missy. Sitting around the kitchen table with him and Wilma while they were still on the farm – those were the days.
No matter the age, grief still hurts our heart and takes a long time to ease.
Love and kindness to you all.

Our warmest condolences to the entire Caldwell family. Find comfort knowing that at 91 he lived as he wanted, in his home and doing all that he loved.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Sarah & Chad
