He was born on December 29, 1940 in Huntington, Indiana. He grew up in Peru, Indiana, with his father, Dr. Emerson Guy Caley. At the age of 21, he joined the Marines.

He is predeceased by his father, Dr. Emerson Guy Caley.

Bonnie Caley would like to thank Heart of Hospice for their loving care and support, which she is so grateful for, as well as a special niece, Dawn Kizer.
