Calvin was a pure gentleman who always had a smile on his face. He was an avid bowler and enjoyed playing golf with his good friends.
He will be missed by his good friends, Laddie and Shalene Sajatovich; his friend and neighbour, Tom Kauffman, whom he laughed with just about everyday, Gerry and Louise MacNeil, Diane Kendal, what wonderful neighbours you were.
