Calvin Blankenship Obituary
Calvin was a loving husband, father, brother, and Pampaw. He always had a smile, a kind word, or a bit of humor to brighten your day. He will be truly missed by everyone whose lives he touched. A member of the 24th ID in the Korean War, Calvin returned to Texas to work and raise his family, and retired from Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. after 30 years employment.
