I know this is late, but I haven’t seen Calvin in a long time, and just recently found out that he died. I conversed with him back when I worked at the Weis Markets in Willow Street from December 1997 until August 1999. The obituary is accurate to state that he was a friendly guy who loved to laugh and uplift those around him. This is what made him well known and loved by the people of Willow Street, and I’m sure the people of Mountville loved him for that same reason; he will be greatly missed.

Back in 2002 I worked at a supermarket in Willow Street.  I was outside on the porch watering plants, the sky was becoming very dark and cloudy.   Calvin as I only knew him by that name, was just coming out the door with his boom box and stick in hand.   He looked at the sky and commented  ” thunder boomers, yep, thunder boomers coming!”.   He delighted in life!  That is what I will remember about him.    Rest in peace sweet man,  I am sure you are sharing your joy in heaven!       Cheryle Thomas

Calvin was such a sweet man!! I loved his happy attitude and great smile! I used to work at Kmart in Willow Street & he would come in and chat with me when I worked the service desk. He even made up a song for me and sang it to me!! I will always have fond memories of him!! He knew how to make me smile!! He will be missed by many of us!!

Bob kinda became part of our family many years ago as our three young boys encountered him walking by our home.  Not knowing who this street walker was with a large radio on his shoulder and twirling stick in his hand one of our boys decided to encounter him.  That started many years of friendship that led to Bob getting to know many of our friends and family.  Bob went with us everywhere including some weekend campouts at Camp Swatara where he was introduced to numerous other camping friends.  He was always a hit with his one-liners, his extraordinary knowledge of politics and of course his enjoyment of food.  Everyone loved Bob.  Life moves on but memoriers are forever and Bob (Calvin) certainly instilled tons of those great memores on scores of people just because of that one day many years ago an encounter with one of our boys happend on Millwood Road.  May the Lord above rest your soul Bob as our family is trusting to meet you in heaven some day as we all contemplate that grand reunion.  We’ll all be twiling those heavenly sticks as we continue enjoy one-anothers company.

So sorry to hear about Rob. My prayers are with the family and wishing I could go to the funeral but am out of town. “Calvin” was a good friend and pal to me, who helped me look at the world in a different and child-like way. I have a lot of stories of running into Rob in both Willow Street and Mountville, he will be dearly missed. He once told me a simple thing once that makes me smile when I think of it! He said, ” I never met a piece of candy that did not like, especially if it Free!” Then he would chuckle at his own statement . I liked that about Rob. He spoke from his heart. So,  I just want to say that I consider it an honor to have known, sat on benches with , and ate candy with “Calvin” ! He was and is a great person that showed me how to slow down and smell the flowers! Until we meet again Buddy”, Rest well my friend.
