We are deeply saddened to report the death of Jim
McCauley, Company G-2,
in Boca Raton, Florida, on January 15, 2022.
"My soul fleeth unto the Lord before the morning
watch;
I say, before the morning watch"
Psalm 130, The West Point Prayer Book
"Mac", naturally, was the name we assigned to Jim during
our cadet years. The Howitzer notes that Jim was an Air Force brat
who came from a long line of career officers, receiving his appointment
from St. Petersburg, Florida. He readily settled into the Corps
and Company G-2 life, managed the abstraction of academics, and
found the world of Corps sports and athletics to be his element
as a cadet. Choosing Artillery as branch choice, he went forward
to a first duty assignment in Germany with the 99th Artillery Group.
But a larger dream was pulling him to go into the field of medicine,
took a leave of absence and secured an MD degree from the University
of Florida, completed his internship at Walter Reed General Hospital
with the Medical Corps, then transferred to the civilian world in
1967.
Jim, wife Carol Ann, and sons Robert and Michael, relocated to Florida
and the world of private medical practice. Tragedy struck later
with Carol Ann being diagnosed with diabetes, and then being lost
to the family in 1972.
During this period Jim was seeking to add another desired dimension,
flying, into his activities. He gained his pilot's license and joined
with others in developing a medical-flight firm paralleling his
health practice. Both boys also became licensed pilots, careering
in aviation, participating and joining with Jim in this activity.
Later, Jim and Cindy were married in 1997, with the family living
in Boca Raton. Two younger sons joined the family, Sean and Christopher,
keeping things exciting for everyone. The medical flight activity
and related aviation actions continued to be a major business attraction
throughout.
A private family service is being planned for a later date. Lee
Fay, Company G-2 CCQ, will serve as our overall Class POC. Family
contact may be made with:
Cindy McCauley
3151 NW 83rd Street
Boca Raton, FL 33496-3310
[email protected]
The Class shares now in the years of friendship and
the many experiences as cadets at West Point. We join in prayers
and condolences for Cindy and the McCauley children, Robert, Michael,
Sean and Christopher, for grandchildren, and for the extended family.
We share also in prayers and condolences to their friends and to
fellow classmates in Company G-2.
May it be said, "Well done, Be thou at peace...."
