Calhoun, John Lloyd

Age 67, of Shandon, Ohio passed away Tuesday, April 2, 2024 at his residence. He was born May 13, 1956, the son of John Frank Calhoun and Carol Joyce Calhoun. He graduated from Ross High School, class of 1974. John joined the Navy after high school and then attended Wilmington College where he was proud to be a "Quaker."

Following the 1980 season John earned All American honors and was eventually inducted into the Wilmington College Hall of Fame in 2005.
