Pudd, Johnny and Caralea. I’m so sorry for the loss of your dad. So many of my childhood memories are with the Calverts. The sleepovers in the tent trailer in the driveway,(or non sleepovers because one of us wanted to go home) our gymnastic performances on the front lawn, which we charged to watch , “trick or treating” with our dads, which seemed to take forever because they stopped to “fill their cup” along the way with the neighbours. All such good memories. I hope the memories you have will bring smiles to your families. Thinking of you all with lots of love. Xo Karen
Dear Alta and family: I was very surprised to hear the news about John. May all your happy times sustain you at this sad time. You are in my prayers. Take care of yourself. Sue and Joe La Berge.

I was very sorry to hear of the passing John Calvert. I have very fond memories of time spent at "Auntie" Carolyn and "Uncle" John's, my Godparents, while growing up. While we spent so much time together, I clearly remember Christmas/New Year’s gatherings at the Calvert house. Another memory that has stayed with me all these years is the American dollar bill Uncle John and Auntie Carolyn gave me for feeding "Sandy, the rabbit" while they were away on vacation. I still have the dollar bill nearly 45 years later! A small reminder of how much they meant to me growing up. Sending my sincere condolences to Pudd, Johnny, and Caralea - I hope you’re able to find comfort in the memories Uncle John leaves behind.
Wanda,Carl,Dawson,Jordan and families. We are so sorry to hear of your dad and grampas passing. We are sending our deepest condolences and much love. From the Gill family
