Calvin worked much of his life in construction, starting in high school at KD Construction and then at the Bentley Lumber Yard. He was employed for many years at Alexander Lumber in Carthage, first as a truck driver and eventually as manager. He was known to many people for his willingness to help others when needed. Calvin is survived by his wife Brenda; his daughters, Shannon (Daniel) Cary, Kayla Snyder, and Shaina Snyder Kroeger; his uncle, Jim Snyder; his aunts, Wilma, and Liz Snyder; his in- laws, Cinda Snyder, Bonnie Larkins, Jim (Terry) Russell, Sandra (Frank) Cummings, Ralph Russell, Vickie Russell, and many nieces and nephews.
