Thomas Albert Calk

He was baptized into the Lutheran faith in Emporia, Kansas. He attended most of his grade school and High School in Arlington, and graduated from Lamar High School in 1983. He also attended college for 2 years at the University of Texas at Arlington, but went on to work at Intercontinental Metals, before beginning his career as a Mail Processor at USPS for 27 years.

Albert met his wife of 21 years, Mary Gaither Esparza, and they married on April, 11, 2003. From that union they had 1 son, Payton James and 2 step-daughters, Hillary and Alexandra and her step-son Christopher.

He was preceded in death by his father, James Calk. He is survived by his wife Mary and son Payton, of the home: step-daughters Hillary Esparza of Arlington, Texas and Alexandra Esparza of Ft.
