I loved to hear Calvin play the fiddle. He played live music for us to clog to. He and Earl Dodson are jamming in heaven with some great musicians.

Kathy and I send our condolences to the entire family. I would visit Calvin for a hair cut every weekend that I came home while in State Police training. Calvin also played in a band and we enjoyed his music abilities over the years. Both he and Dorothy were good friends of my parents. He will certainly be missed by all who knew him.
