Calvin Fode Obituary

Calvin K. Fode, Jr., of Snohomish, Wash., passed away at home on February 27, 2015. He is survived by his loving wife, Idelle; children, Jon and Stephanie; mother, Phyllis; brothers, Ron and Bob; sister, Dianna; step-children, David, Leslie and Benjamin; and his adored grandchildren. Calvin graduated from La Conner High School and had recently moved back to the area. His life's work was in construction, and he leaves as his legacy the many buildings and projects, both public and private, that attest to his dedication and skill. His love of the outdoors, especially fishing, was shared by many and will be remembered fondly. Although a quiet man, his life touched so many and he will be missed greatly. A celebration of Calvin's life will be held on Tuesday, March 31, 2015, at The La Conner Yacht Club at 5:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please get your fishing license and catch a big one in Calvin's honor.

I worked with Calvin briefly; he was my boss. He was such a good person. Such a kind man, kind heart, kind way about him. I'm so sorry, to all of you, whom it is my loss to not have met, and of course to his son Jon (who won't remember me) and Robert Ekloff (who may). I'm so, so sorry.
