Mr. Caulkins was a model for many of us-- quiet, humble, and very hard working. He served the nation during WW II and later our community. I am so glad that I had a chance to speak with him on several occasions over the last 25 years. What a privilege knowing him and his brother Roger. Always will appreciate some of his stories about the 1950s and 1960s.

Mr. Caulkins exemplified the Greatest Generation and was a grand old gentleman whom always had time for anybody.
Over the decades me and my family would come into Caulkins to have watches or rings repaired, to buy gifts or just to say hi. I sought out Stanley because he was fun to talk to and adorable. I am sad that he has passed on.
Growing up in Leesburg during the 70's, I knew Stanley as a prominent business owner, a patient in my father's dental practice and a pillar of the community.
Although many memories are brought to mind, my fondest is one in which my son and I met him by chance in the Leesburg Safeway. Responding to my son's greeting, he replied, "Well, hello there, guy!" In much the same fashion he greeted me, as a youngster.
A great lesson can be learned by remembering his kindness and conduct, as well as his humor.
He touched our lives with his kindness, inspiration and gratitude. We met him through Rotary and were privileged to know him. We wish comfort to his family and all who cared for him. Mal and Judy

Stanley: You will be dearly missed by all your friends at the Leesburg Airport and more specifically ProJet Aviation. You were a good friend to us. I enjoyed your many aviation stories, as well as your funny disposition at the Airport's 50th Anniversary luncheon! Very good times spent in your wonderful company.
