He leaves behind an incredible legacy of love that is sure to be embraced with each reflection shared by those he loved, and those who loved him. Yet of all that filled Calvin’s heart with joy, nothing could match the immeasurable elation derived from spending time with loved ones,…be they family or friends. Doing the “motorhome thing” is kind of a societal pleasure that only fellow travelers would understand,…as Calvin & Florene did. Sometimes their travels took them to familiar places, sometimes to destinations that were new and interesting,…yet they never met a stranger along the way. These two lovebirds found supreme delight in traveling the country and seeing some of the beauty that America has to offer. But when having fun didn’t involve casting his line in the water, that meant it was time to fire up the motorhome and hit the road with his beloved Florene. Of course, being a Michigander, the sport of hunting was also in his wheelhouse of pastimes that filled his spare time, at the right time. Whether he was chasin’ the Walleye’s on the river with his buddies, or with a bunch of angler’s on the chartered adventures he so enjoyed,…or perhaps taking in the simple pleasures of a quiet day afloat in his boat with his line in the water, Calvin just loved to fish and always had his eye peeled for that “Big One” out there.
Calvin was honored to have shared in the camaraderie that was so much a part of the American Legion Post and all it stands for to those who served.Īnother major pastime Calvin enjoyed was the sport of fishing. When he wasn’t working, you would have often found Calvin down at his American Legion Post in Linden sharing in a bit of fraternal bonding with his fellow patriots and veterans, most of whom were kindred spirits in what they went through overseas. He was a hard worker who was dedicated and loyal to his job. Qualified and equipped to perform his expertise as a machinist, Calvin exuded the utmost in precision as he wielded his trade. Hailing from his roots in farming, Calvin would eventually make his way into the field of trades,…specifically that of the tool & die industry. For his willingness to stand in harm’s way for the sake of freedom, we honor his service, bravery and patriotism in answering his call to duty. Along with other campaign medals earned throughout his time overseas, Calvin was duly recognized in receiving a Purple Heart as well. With duty assignments in both Rhineland, Germany and Northern France, the severity of his sacrifice came to reality when he suffered the wounds of a gun shot on Octoin the European Theater of Operations.
