Life's Work/Service/Interests: Calvin made his home in the same house his parents lived in Clearfield, Utah. He liked spending time working on cars, riding his mountain bike, camping, and reading, but he loved doing these things when he was able to share his interests with his family. As a father, he laid the groundwork for his children to learn and live the principles of the Gospel. He taught them the value of self-reliance, honest living, and the meaning of a good day's work. As a former member of the High Council in the Clearfield Utah Stake, Calvin studied diligently and taught the principles of the Gospel with clarity and with an unshakeable testimony. Calvin also proudly served as a member of the civil service for the US Air Force at Hill Air Force Base for over ten years.
