Harry E. Caleb “Butch”, age 77, of Chesapeake City, MD, passed away peacefully at home on August 28, 2014, surrounded by his family. He was the son of the late James and Annie Caleb.

I will forever remember the days and nights we all spent there. Crabs cooking and Harry raising hell about the gypsy moths and no one better pee in his pool. Pigs feet at the VFW and shots to swallow it. A good man and friend. Thank you Harry for all you gave to my family, memories they will never forget. Leann Parrish and family

I am so sad to hear of Harry's passing. He was someone I always looked up to. May God comfort you, Heather, and all of your family. I know Harry will be with you all for a time yet--he loves you all too much to move on until he knows you will all be okay. (I love the picture you chose of him--I will always remember him that way!)
