I have many wonderful memories with my Uncle Calvin. I'll never forget the time Johnny and I had to teach our dads a lesson on the basketball court in Ohio. From numerous pinochle get togethers over the last decade to some howling good times playing pool, it was always a blast. He will be greatly missed. I'm very blessed to call him my Uncle Calvin.
