Dad will always be remembered for his coffee shop visits and his driving around town with one foot always on the brake. Anyone who attended the Manitowaning Public School or Little Current Public School will remember Calvin well, from chasing them down on Hallows Eve so they wouldn’t soap the windows to being there when needed as the head custodian to clean up the mess.

He was a farmer, well known to many on the Island, he took over his fathers’ farm after he became ill, he farmed up into his 70s when he decided it was time to give it up. But did he really? Of course not, the cows might have been gone but he still did his regular daily visits to feed the chickens and the horses.

Dad, know you will be missed, and are loved. Who will shuffle down the street and crack a smart comment with a smirk and quick visit.

A private family visitation has taken place with cremation to follow
Burial of his ashes at Mountain View Cemetery in the spring
