'I was so honored to be asked by Irene to be a pall bearer at Uncle Calvins miltary funeral today. He was a HIGHLY decorated gunner that flew with the select Blue Raiders Squadron 117, on a modified B24 Liberator in the Pacific. He was mostly a tail gunner- guys that normally don't live long. The Blue Raiders were feared and talked about on Tokyo radio. To get a taste of what life was like in a B24, see the movie UNBROKEN--or read the book about a true story. I've known Calvin for 30 years, and it wasn't until last year that he told me about the air battles. I wish I had a fraction of the courage, grace and humility he had. GOOD BYE MY FRIEND...It was a an honor and privelge.'

'Thinking fondly of my Uncle Calvin today! Uncle Calvin, married to my dad's sister Irene for 65 years, was ingenious, industrious, accomplished and pretty all around amazing! However, most of all, to me, he was a friend of my dad's. Through the years, I always felt the friendship and humor that they shared. They both liked golfing and it was a good day when they both had their clubs with them and were headed off to the golf course. Uncle Calvin and my dad were both humble Oklahomans at heart and neither liked to call attention to themselves so it's almost hard to remember that Calvin traveled the world for Phillips 66 and that his brother-in-law, Marvin, worked for many years in the tallest "skyscraper" in Corpus Christi for ARCO. They both provided for and cared for their families in all of the best ways. Aunt Irene was a great match for Calvin!'

'I was named after Uncle Calvin. A great man and a good friend. Calvin and Ofelia Jones.'

'Jan and Julia, thoughts and prayers today and in the days ahead as you celebrate your father's life.'

'Irene, my deepest sympathies to you and all of your and Calvin's family members. It was my pleasure to have known Calvin here in San Antonio at Franklin Park retirement center. May the memories you have, the support of your family, and your faith sustain you in the challenging days ahead.'

'In memory of Julia's grandfather and Caleb's great grandfather, Calvin jones, a donation has been made to the Jerusalem prayer team in Phoenix Arizona'

'Growing up with grandpa Calvin was everything a child could hopeful. He was tough but gentle. Funny but firm. Memories with him around the farm, when life was new and everything was adventure and he was always willing to help us explore. What an incredible legacy he has left of family and loving memories. He will forever be in our hearts, thoughts and memories.'

'I have great memories of spending time with Aunt Irene and Uncle Calvin. He was always so positive and encouraging as I pursued my career in education. He listened and laughed at my classroom stories and reminded me of them years later. I remember them coming to Corpus Christi for Thanksgiving for several years after retiring. My mother liked for him to carve the turkey because "he really knew how". I enjoyed playing upwards with them both. I am really grateful for his presence in my life. I will miss him.'

'On behalf of Julia's friends at work in AFCEC and Contracting, a memorial donation to honor Julia's dad has been made to the Community Bible Church of San Antonio.'

'We didn't know Calvin directly, but we heard great stories of him through his daughter Julia and son in law Shannon. We are saddened to hear of Calvin's passing, and are praying for your family.'

'Uncle Calvin was always a favorite, and my mother, Marjory Jones McCollough, had many stories to tell about Calvin. I really enjoyed our reunion in San Antonio a few years ago. He will be missed greatly.'

'Pete and I are thinking of all of you and remembering all our good times with. Calvin. He will be missed. Take care and we wish we could be there with all of you.'

'Calvin worked with my late husband, Abe Abrahamson, in Bartlesville, OK and Stavanger, Norway. Calvin and his lovely wife, Irene, were dear friends of ours over the years. Calvin will always be remembered for his honesty, his integrity, and his friendliness. My condolences to his family.'

'Our hearts are filled with sadness at the passing of our Uncle Calvin. We enjoyed many happy days and hours with Uncle Calvin and Aunt Irene. He was a master at UpWords and 42 dominoes, and we sure had some fun games. He showed us how to appreciate the simple things, and always had encouraging and positive things to say to us. Our condolences to the family. May God bless you and comfort you at this time. We love you.'

'I had many good times with Uncle Calvin. He had a sense of humor, a sense of honor, and never wasted time on what was past. He was a forward looking man and kind in many ways. Blessings, condolences to the family.'
