Pat and family, How sorry we were to hear of Calvin's passing. He was such a good friend and such a blessing to have been able to know him. Over the years we have known your family and it was such a joy to have your boys come home with our boys and get to know them. The day you got lost and ended up in our yard is such a wonderful memory. We had such a good time. Hang on to the good times Pat, and know that he is waiting for the time you will be together again. Until then he will visit with the angels. If you need anything we are here.
