Frank Cauley Way was named in honour of Frank J Cauley in March 2007. In 1944, serving with the Royal Air Force Coastal Command, Frank Cauley's crew sank a German U-boat. Their Short Sunderland flying boat was damaged in the melée, but the crew flew home to safety after patching up the damaged plane with Wrigley's Spearmint gum. After the war, Cauley went into the civil service, then sales. He eventually launched his own business, Cardinal Institutional Sales, that supplied food staples to local firms. He married Barbara in September 1951, and together they raised two children, Glenn and Kathey, in Navan. Cauley volunteered for dozens of organizations, including the Salvation Army, the United Way, the Boys and Girls Club, the Kiwanis Club, the Dominion Institute and the Canadian Automobile Association. He has chaired the Red Shield Appeal and has sat on the board of the former Grace Hospital.
