Our deepest sympathy to all of Cal's family. We always enjoyed his visits to South Dakota and the Radway-Gittings Reunions. Especially remember the one at Sylvan Lake. Cal and Joe definitely gave Roxanne and Donnie fits. He was always a fun time.

So sorry to hear about Cal. I have such fond memories of growing up and your visits to the farm. My dad and Cal could giggle like girls! Hold the fond memories close to your heart. God bless you all.
