Calvin Whitehall Obituary

Calvin E. Whitehall died in Roatan, Honduras while snorkeling with his family. He is survived by his wife, Cheryl, children: Matthew, and Jessica, their spouses: Elisa and Jason Ferdig, his three grandchildren: Tessa, Aidan, and Taylor, and his sisters: Janet West, and Eileen Baker. He was a certified public accountant and had his own business until retiring in 2002. In his retirement he became a dedicated and well known photographer especially of the white-tailed ptarmigan which live year round in the alpine and tundra of the Colorado Rockies, and the burrowing owls of the eastern plains. Any donations in memory of Cal should be made to the Nature Conservancy. There will be a private memorial service with the family in the mountains that he cherished. His family wants all who knew Cal to take a walk in his beloved mountains or prairies dedicating some time to remembering this wonderfully funny, caring man.

Cal had a dry sense of humor and a twinkle in his eye. He was fun.

Dear Cheryl and Family,

Jim and I were saddened when we heard about Cal's passing. I remember him fondly and with humor and kindness on our trip to Greece. And what a talented photographer!

Jim has many fond memories of Cal from bicycling and the Points Races.

Please know that our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

All Our Love,

Molly & Jim Hargarten

We had only known Cal for 5 years, but he had become a special friend, stopping in for coffee and a chat, discussing photography. He made us feel very welcome at the CO Nature Camera Club. We will not easily forget him for many reasons, but especially because 2 of his photographs are hanging on our wall.

Calvin was a kind and gentle soul, a caring and thoughtful steward of the earth. He had an unending patience for creatures great and small. RIP Uncle Calvin.❤

To know this gentle caring man was to love him. I asked my grandson what he remembered about Uncle Calvin and he said that Uncle Calvin loved nature. Calvin willingly passed on his expertise and experience to others and made us all love and appreciate his part of the country from the smallest flower to his beloved ptarmigan. He may be gone but he is not forgotten.

Calvin was my brother. He was always good at making me laugh. I loved to listen to his stories of picture taking adventures. He was soft spoken, kind, and funny. I will miss him immensely.

Cal was an extremely caring man. His photography was beautiful and his patience in waiting for ptarmigans an act of patience and love.

Cal will be missed by our entire art community. He brought joy, laugher and enriching conversation to all he met. My heart goes out to Cheryl and the rest of the family. Cal was a gift to the world.

"Funny and caring" are well-chosen adjectives for Cal. I might add "gentleman" and "true professional." Peace to Cheryl and family.
