Joan and family, My deepest condolences. My parents (Peter and Betty Plumley) were friends of yours for many years, my dad also worked at Travelers. My brother David and I have fond memories of babysitting for your kids many years ago when we lived on Candlelight Dr.

Dear Joan,
I have wonderful memories of Cal when we were childhood playmates, and also of you as we grew up and discovered the challenges of bridge. He was very gifted physically and had a great mind also.
I hope you are coping with his loss with lots of support from family and friends. My deepest and most sincere sympathy.
Fondly, Howie Falkin

I met Cal at Yale nearly 60 years ago.
He was very helpful as we were both considering actuarial career. We both worked at Travelers where I saw him often, sometimes over the bridge table. Please accept my condolences.

I remember Cal fondly as a childhood friend and neighbor --- one of the Rosedale Road crowd. I still live in the neighborhood and think of him every time I walk down Rosedale Road and see the house he grew up in. I am so sorry for your loss. Ethel (Falkin) Fried
