Having worked with Calvin for thirty years & spent time with him and Paul at the shop working on the race car among many times at the airport are the great memories I have of him. He took me flying & I helped him build his hanger on Cedar Creek lake, so he could pursue his love of working on airplanes. Rest In Peace, brother.
