Gregory L. (Greg) Caldwell was born to O.W. and Betty (Hiatt) Caldwell on March 11, 1942 in Elwood, where he grew up and went to school.
Greg graduated from Wendell L. Willkie High School in 1960, Indiana University with an AB in political science in 1964 and the Indiana University Law School in Indianapolis with a J.D. in 1968. He began practicing law in 1968 in Tipton where he was deputy prosecutor for three years. In 1970, he was a unsuccessful candidate for Tipton Circuit Judge, falling 123 votes short after only two years practice in Tipton. He moved his office to Noblesville in 1972. In addition to that private practice, worked as a part-time deputy prosecutor until 1977. Upon leaving the prosecutor's office Greg maintained a private practice in Noblesville focusing on criminal defense, family law and other areas of general practice. In 1991, he was elected to the part-time position of Noblesville City Judge and held that position until his untimely death. He served six terms on the city court bench.
During his 48 years of law practice Greg had professional memberships in the American Bar Association, Indiana State Bar Association, Tipton County Bar Association, Hamilton County Bar Association, Indiana Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, Indiana City and Town Court Judges Association.
Greg was also a charter member of the Noblesville Sunrisers Kiwanis Club, and had been a Kiwanian since 1968. He belonged to the Tipton Elks Lodge and the Noblesville Elks Lodge, Noblesville Eagles and the Fox Prairie Men's Golf Club, as well as various local Republican organizations. He was elected on multiple occasions to the position of precinct committeeman and delegate to the Indiana State Republican Convention. Greg was an avid hunter, fisherman and golfer. He hunted bear in Maine; elk and deer in Colorado; turkey, duck and geese in several states, with hunting trips to Maine, Colorado, Wisconsin and Arkansas. His sons have shared his enthusiasm for these sports having gotten to hunt with him as teenagers, and continue in their outdoor adventures. He was also a sport shooting enthusiast and focused on collecting and shooting old west (cowboy) types of firearms, especially in authentic Colt single-action pistols. At one point he belonged to Single Action Shooting Society, where competitive shooters dressed in 1800s garb and used "cowboy" weapons in shooting matches. In about 2000 he joined his best friend of over 40 years to fish in crappie tournaments with two associations: Crappiemasters and Crappie USA. They fished in tournaments in a dozen different states in both of those associations qualifying for over a dozen national championships during their exploits.
He is survived by son, Trent Caldwell; wife, Theresa, Noblesville; daughter, Taylor and Travis; wife, Rebecca; daughter, Lucy; son, Dane, Denver, Colorado; four siblings, Kim (Vicki), Kokomo, Monty (Madlyn), Charlestown, Amy Hoffman (Jerry), Richmond, and Brian (Susan), Kokomo; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Celebration of life will be held at Fox Prairie Golf Course on Monday. Oct. 24, 2016. Service will begin at 2 p.m., with celebration until 4 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Noblesville Sunrisers Kiwanis or The Greg Caldwell Memorial Junior Golf Fund.
