Not sure what to say?

I’m so sad to hear this news and sorry to the family for such a loss of a great person. Calvin was a great friend years ago. We made many skydiving jumps together and at one time we practiced being on a 4 person skydiving team in the late 90’s. I always enjoyed Calvin, he was so much fun being around. I will truly miss him.

Always the leader of the gang. My skydiving and skiing friend. He will be missed.

Condolences to Joann, Lucas and all who were dear to Calvin. He will surely be missed by his family and friends. Calmodee added some pep and joviality whenever he came to the drop zone. As we retire the number D-6939 to the cosmos, blue skies and God Bless. May our souls cross paths with you again.

Love's Journey

Joann, I am so sorry I couldn't be here for this, but I wanted to let you know that I have been praying for you and your family during this incredibly difficult time. May Jesus' peace surround you.
