Mr. Caston was one of the 3 most influential men in my life. He hired me in the summer of 1982, as I was just about to begin my freshman year at LSU. He gave me a chance, he taught me what it meant to be a man, and he was instrumental in helping me finish college. During my 4 years at LSU, there were several times I wanted to quit school for various reasons. He always told me if I quit school, I'd no longer have a job with him. He followed that up by saying I would always have a job with him, as long as I got my degree first. Along with several guys with whom I toiled on Mr. Caston's sheetrock crews, I learned so much about life and hard work from this man. His recent death is bittersweet. My heart aches today, knowing we've lost an everyday hero here on Earth. However, I am so thankful the good Lord did not allow this great man to endlessly suffer before he was called home to his Father. I'll always remember Mr. Caston's strong faith, hard and honest work ethic, and the lessons I learned while in his employ. I hope Russell, Rosie, and the rest of his family remember the good times shared with this Angel of a man, and take comfort in the fact he's now looking down on us, as we all continue to try to find our way in the trying times of today's world.

Marshall (Butch) and Janis Caston would like to send our condolences. We didn’t know Bobby that long. Two years ago was the first time I got to know the Caston family. Bobby was very kind by sending me a video interview of my father and my grandma. For that random kindness, Bobby will be for ever in our heart.
Our thoughts and prayers are with y’all. ❤
