Long time friend of the family passed away and I attended his funeral yesterday . All of 60 yrs old. Cancer filled his lungs and brain . He lasted 3 months after they diagnoised it, quite a shock. He didn't cry , didn't complain. He was my dads best friend . They talked everyday about anything or nothing . When dad was fighting his bout with cancer ,Calvin was there . When Mom was ,,he was there also . when the Doctor came in and set up counsoling, he looked him in the eye and told him he knew everything he had to know from my folks . He simply asked how long he had to get his affairs in order . They had no idea it would be this short . He was a scawny wirey guy , 140 lbs soaking wet ,,but "Oh Buddy , tough as nails " He was a Vietnam Vet , Marine ,who served many extra tours , volanteered for all of them . He said ," I got no one special , I know whats going on here, I'll stay so someone else that don't ,won't come here and get themselves killed. " He was a POW . He escaped and told of the fight he had with is guard . Said they were hand to hand , he looked up and bit the guys throat out with his teeth . I believed it ,,,anyone who met him would too. He was always there for those who needed help . He will be missed by all . RIP Calvin .Travel well my friend .
