It is with tremendous sorrow that we announce the death of our dearest Calum.

He was an achiever in life who was keenly aware and supportive of those around him who struggled. He loved to laugh and had a gift for putting people at ease. Calum had a unique way of making others feel valuable and conversations with him were often touching. He had a special connection to and love of animals, and was a vocal defender of the freedoms of America.
