Calvin L. Trudo

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD WE MISS YA BUT KNOW YOU FEEL BETTER GOD BLESS

Today we come together to remember my Gramp, my friend. Last Saturday Gramp was taken from us and given peace. We do not want to remember Gramp in his last hours on earth, as they were painful ones. We should instead look at this as a learning experience for all.
We are all given time on this earth to make an impression on others, like you and me. Gramp did this. Gramp showed me a lot about life and the things that we can do with what we have. Gramp did not tell me, he showed me....

I found out yesterday, on Thanksgiving, of the passing of Calvin. I am so thankful that I got the privilege to know and be around Calvin when I was a kid. He was the best grandfather I could ever imagine and I had endless hours of fun goofing around with him. One day, binoculars in hand, he made Sara and me look at what we think was a catamount that was lurking at the edge of the woods across the road from their house. I will never forget that. He would also patiently sit in his chair in the...

You will always live in our hearts and prayers.

“Your favorite father-in-law is here!” This is how Calvin always entered when coming to our house. Answering the phone and being asked, “What do you want? Why did you call?” These endearing remarks would keep me ever vigilant with just as endearing comebacks. You always had to be on your toes and Calvin enjoyed the banter. Many years we have done this exchange. He would laugh when I got him back.

I was always on a point system with Calvin. He always kept reminding me these...

Dear Aunt Tink and Family,
I can't believe that Uncle Cal passed away. Every weekend that I went up there with my grandparents when I was young. Uncle Cal always put a smile on my face. He would always tell me that your grandmother Rosie would be so mad at him for moving the furniture on the porch. That was his way of letting them know he was there. I always looked foward to go up to the house on the weekend to see Aunt Tink and Uncle Cal and all the jokes he told. Aunt Tink keep your...

Grandpa,
I will never forget the times when we would all get together at the house for Sundays and Holidays and you would tell us that the alligator, ratcoon, or someother wild creature bit your thumb off. I also will never forget your trips to New Mexico to see us when we moved there. You will truely be missed but I am consold in the fact that you are in a better place now B.Sing with the best of um! Love Always

Gramp,

You were more like a Dad to me than a Grandpa. I will always cherish these memories and think of them with a smile – going on walks and looking for the perfect walking stick, skating in the meadow, mornings on the garbage route and when you would let me roll around on the foot stool when Grandma wasn’t home.

I am so happy that you were able to watch Rylee grow up over the past year and a half, she liked to argue with you and I know how much you enjoyed picking on her. I...

I wanted to express my deepest sympathies to you. Something that has provided me with much comfort during these difficult times is the hope that the bible holds out. I have gained much comfort from the scripture in Isaiah 25:8 where it speaks of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah swallowing up death forever. That will surely be a wonderful time when we will no longer experience the pain of losing our loved one in death.
