I have many good memories of good times with Calvin, such as:
Fishing trips that our safe return depended on Calvin's ingenuity to limp the boat back to Port.
- building the belt sander race track and competitions at the Wood Connection.
- building the first wind generator in Port Bruce, that Calvin's superbly designed propellers overrode the brake.
- our encounter with border officials who were convinced that two old codgers were smuggling drugs into the USA in a boat we were delivering to Calvin's son, Kevin, in Ohio.
- and building the Port Bruce sign that we conceived on a napkin at the coffee shop.
Rest in peace Calvin.

Dear Mary and Family… I am so sorry to hear about Calvin, he was a bright light in this dismal world. If you were down and out this jolly man made you smile and forget your woes. We were living in Calvin and Mary’s apartment on the farm of which Calvin did all the work. He even made the kitchen cabinets. He was an exceptional friend and confidant. Calvin and my late husband Rick, were best of friends and loved everything about planes and flying. I have uploaded a few photos of this jokester and how he would try to get my goat. I came home from work one day and there is Calvin and Rick sitting and drinking beer supposedly, they were installing a picture window but there was one hitch they said, they broke the window. There was a line of black tape on the window to cover the crack. Ha Ha!! And another time when Calvin was in the loft of the barn and he missed the joists and down came his feet through the ceiling. He was a kind hearted, thoughtful and loving man. Calvin, Rick is waiting for you flying high in Heaven. Love you always and say Hi to Rick for me.. Love Mae XXOO

One of my greatest memories of Grandpa was this trip to see him with Granny. I’ll never forget his smile or his birthday phone calls over the years. Sending hugs to all who were blessed to know him❤️

As Kevin said dad taught us a lot. The work ethic he instilled in us allows us to enjoy our blessed lives. And yes, because of his lessons, we can forever tell tales of how we got to do the work while he did the teaching.....
Glad we got to visit him on his 80th birthday. This picture shows that was the first day ever I could say I was taller than him.

Growing up my Dad was my best friend, he spent days playing baseball with me every year, would spend time with me and my friends He provided a great place to grow up in, to learn about work, fixing and making what you needed. I looked up to the strong loving father that he was, I thank God for my father and the family I was given. I love you Dad, Kevin

Our condolences Liz. Apparently Calvin knew my husband Norm from flying days probably out of St Thomas Airport. Now that they both have their angel wings they can fly high in heaven.
