Three thing I will aways remember about Uncle Cal.. He loved the show Will & Grace but always got mad when he realized that Will and Jack were not straight. He would laugh his bum off. Get mad turn the channel and come back to the show later.
Two~ He had a fast pitch that could hurt a 12 year olds hand. Tyler, was so surprise when he tried to catch a ball from Uncle Cal. This was just a few years ago.
Three~ My wedding a few years ago. Uncle Cal looked so good. Ever guest at my wedding remembers seeing Uncle Cal there. I have to say one of my favorite pictures is of me, my husband and Uncle Cal. ~ Christy Owen

When I think of my Uncle Cal the first thing that comes to my mind is him & his harmonica. He loved to entertain with many different songs. The tapping of feet and wonderful FUN shared was even present the last time my husband and I were able to visit him. He got out his Harmonica and played for us in his "New Digs" at Cherrywood Place. Everyone loved to hear him play. He was a very special person in my life. I will miss seeing the twinkle in his eyes whenever we'd go to visit or when he would visit us.

I was so blessed to be able to share so many early years of my life with my Uncle Cal in Wisconsin. Later, He also made a trip to Georgia (after I was married)and helped to build a chimney for our wood stove. Almost every story of all my school years through high school that I told our seven children included some adventure with Uncle Cal! Throughout the years he always kept in touch by letter to tell me what he was busy with in Washington State. His sense of humor and enjoyment of his garden and his home and all the wildlife he loved made me smile. He was always included in my thoughts and prayers. I loved him very much.

I had the privilege of working with Cal on several jobs,including the re-model at Roundup Grocery in the 80's. My wife and I picked up Cal many times to attend retiree meetings, and we always enjoyed visiting with him. He will be greatly missed.

I have many great memories of my Uncle Cal. He had a dry sense of humor and loved catching us off guard with his funny comments. I went fishing with him as kid and remembered him fussing at us when we weren't quiet enough. He was a very helpful person - helping many family members and friends throughout his lifetime. I remember a visit he made to my sister and I in California and the fun times we shared there. One of the funniest memories of that visit was when my sister and I did his laundry at the laundromat and turned all his white clothes pink by mistake. We had to re-wash them all with bleach to get the pink out. He laughed when we told him about it but I am sure he was relieved to find his clothes white again. He was a very good uncle to all us kids and I hope that I will see him in heaven when I get there. Thanks Uncle Cal for all the great memories.

I am thankful for the many years I had to share with my brother Cal. When he lived in Sheboygan, Wisconsin our family had wonderful memories of him always being part of our family life. .. Every summer he would spend a week with us primative camping at Neumans Lake.
In the 20 years he was here he was in the Navy Reserve and worked for Quasius Brothers construction in the city... He helped build North High school and many buildings in this area.
In his spare time he never failed helping our family with remodeling projects, or our six children's activities as they grew up...
He shared many of his vacations via his beloved movie camera. We traveled many miles with him just by watching his movies and seeing his pictures.
We are thankful for the many years we spent with him...loving every minute...
