Robert B. Caison Jr.

Robert B "Sonny" Caison, Jr., 80, of Macedonia, affectionately known as "Honey" by his grandchildren, was surrounded by his family when he went to be with our Lord on August 2, 2013.

Mr. Caison was born May 22, 1933 in Macedonia, S.C., a son of Robert Benjamin Caison, Sr. and Pauline Judy Caison.

After graduating from Macedonia School, he joined the U. S. Navy, serving from 1951 - 1955, during the Korean War. When honorably discharged in 1955, he began working at the Charleston Naval Shipyard while he served in the U. S. Navy Reserve. His career began as a Sailmaker, then a Rigger/Diver, retiring in 1988 as a Ship Superintendent. After retirement, when he wasn't traveling with his wife, Joan, of 56 years, you could always find him at his beloved "Lazy C".

He loved Bluegrass music and spending Saturday nights at the Pickin' Parlor. But most of all he enjoyed spending time with his family. He was a member of Macedonia Christian Church, and also a member of American Legion Post 126.

He is survived by his "Darlin" wife, Joan Infinger Caison; his sons - Mark L. Caison and his wife, Allison; and David S. Caison and his wife, Jeanne and his grandchildren (the apples of his eyes) Robert, Haley and Emily; his nieces - Marsha Powell and Theresa Hilton; a special great nephew, Phillip Amerson; and several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents and his sister, Roberta Fazenbaker.

Interment will follow in the church cemetery, directed by Russell Funeral Chapel, Moncks Corner. The family will receive friends at Russell Funeral Chapel Monday evening, August 5, 2013 between 6 and 8 o'clock.
