In loving memory, Sollie Cadman

Sollie Cadman, 77, of Lander Wyoming died on April 11, 2025 at his home surrounded by his family. His funeral mass will be held at 10:00am on Friday May 2nd at Holy Rosary Catholic church.
Sollie was born on 12/24/1947, minutes after his twin brother Ted, to parents Gerald and Sarah Cadman in Billings, MT.
Sollie graduated from FCVHS in Lander in 1966. He served his country for 6 years in the National Guard. In December of 1967 he married his high school sweetheart, Claudette Sherrow. They had three children, Shelly, Angela and Jack. He worked at US Steel as a mechanic until its closure in 1983. He attended CWC and graduated, with honors, in 1986. Sollie was known for his analytical mind, his problem solving abilities and his absolute love of mathematics. When he was in college, he completed every problem in his physics textbook “for fun.” He was a master cribbage player and “skunked” many an unsuspecting competitor. His true passion was flying. He could be found almost every weekend flying the model planes he would build himself. He would come home and saying “I tapped out my fun meter today!” He would spend the rest of the week repairing, building and rebuilding his planes. He was the Vice President of the Wyoming Modelers Association.
Most people knew Sollie from his many years of working at the city of Lander for the Weed and Pest Department. Sollie helped build Wyoming’s reputation as the leader in invasive species management. His influence was large, from working with Wyoming legislators on updating Weed and Pest laws to leading the Wyoming Weed and Pest Council as council president.
He was preceded in death by his parents Gerald and Sarah Cadman, his brother Nicholas (son) Cadman, Sisters Betty Ann Anderson, Alpha Thormahlin and Leonre Van.
He is survived by his brothers Wayne (Lynn) Cadman, Ted (Barbara) Cadman, his wife Claudette Cadman, daughters Shelly Cadman (Trenton) St Clair, Angela (Donnie) Ellis, Son Jack (Cynthia) Cadman, grand children Ciara (Brooks) Thomson-Barnett, Kayla Hoffman, Spencer Orr, Christina Orr, Sophia Cadman, Lucy Cadman, Danika Anesi, Hayden St Clair. Great grand children, Daxton and Landric Hoffman, Zane and Cynciir Orr, Quincy Barnett.
Sollie was a kind, gentle soul and will be missed by everyone who knew him. The world is truly a better place because of him.
