Sherri & I offer our condolences to the whole family. We know that Cal is with Jesus now and we will see him again when we all get to Heaven. I enjoy being neighbors with you all while I was in my teens and had a great time with the boys - Brian & Barry could not ask for better parents - what great role models for any kid to have!

Our sincere sympathy to you, Evelyn, and your family. My husband and I grew up in Delavan with Calvin and attended the Baptist church with him and his family. I worked with him for a few weeks at Caterpillar when I was a part-time secretary. Not sure if you remember me or not Evelyn but would stop and say "Hi" sometimes when I was in your area at Caterpillar and also when you two were first married coming to the Baptist church. I was Wilma Runyon Gresham before Fred and I got married. Always remember Calvin as such a nice looking man and a nice guy.
