Graveside services were held on Saturday, 15 May 2010, at Davids Cemetery in Kettering, OH, with Pastor Bob Ashburn, officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Calvin could be given to the church he loved, First Baptist Church Midwest City, OK, or to Hospice of Dayton, or Meals on Wheels, or a charity of choice.
