Hi Amy, Jim, and Stefan,
May wonderful and fond memories of Calum comfort you always. Calum cheerfully took on the role of ski instructor and big brother for the rest of the Otis Ridge Rats Ski Team and always encouraged the younger racers to try their best. We miss him and are thankful for the time we had with him on the slopes and in the lodge. The Glueck Family.

Hi Amy, Jim, and Stefan, I often see The kindness and friendliness that Calum always showed my Younger kids with when they were together when Calum was one of the “senior” members of the Otis Ski Race Team, when Jake, Lea, and Mikey became the older mentors to the new, younger members of the ski team. This always reminds me of Calum and how he quickly made friends with and “coached” the younger skiers. May happy memories bring you peace and comfort.

Hi Amy, Jim, and Stefan, We just heard the very sad news and our thoughts and prayers go out to you in this very difficult time. Callum was one of the nicest members of the Otis Ski Team and instantly made friends with and helped Jake, Lea, and Mikey with pointers and tips on how to ski faster and better. We will all miss him, but will find some comfort in the good memories we have from skiing and racing with him.

Dear Amy, Jim, and Stephan, My prayers go out to all of you. You all were like a family to me, and I loved the boys as if they were my own. Calum was such a cuddler when he was young, which I loved, when we would read books together. Keisha was especially close to Calum, and thought of him as a brother. I loved the boys, and never minded babysitting for you guys, as it was a joy to be with them. Please know how much all these memories are a blessing to me, and you all have a special place in my heart throughout all these years (despite everything) and all my thoughts are with you all, as well as my shoulder. Calum, you are an angel who touched many lives,blessings to you. Karen Loomis, Kaitlyn, Keisha and Taryn
