Mr. McCaskill was born June 29, 1933 in Sheridan, Arkansas, and went to be with the Lord Wednesday, November 9, 2011.

Mr. McCaskill was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He was married to Jo McCaskill for 25 years where they made their home in Lufkin after moving from Pasadena, Texas.

Being in construction since his early years as a young boy there was nothing that he could not build.

He will be dearly missed by all that knew him and everyone that was touched by his loving heart. Mr. McCaskill was a member of Southmore Baptist Church in Pasadena, Texas.

He is survived by his wife, Jo McCaskill of Lufkin; brother, Clayton McCaskill of Pine Bluff, Arkansas; sisters, Ruby Robinson and husband Ryland Robinson, Jr. of Pine Bluff, Arkansas and Retha Puckett and husband Conrad Puckett of Pasadena, Texas; along with several nieces, nephews and numerous friends.
