Passing of Calvin Everett Weldon Metcalf Reg #1683 
 
With great sadness and heartfelt memories we announce the passing of our loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend to all who passed away peacefully in his sleep. He will be dearly missed and will live in all of our hearts forever.

Cal was born in Cardston, AB, and lived in various small towns throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan in his youth, as his father was employed by the Canadian Pacific Railway. After completing his education in Medicine Hat, Cal moved to Calgary where he met and married the love of his life Wanda, and raised their family. Pursuing his dream, Cal joined the Calgary City Police force in 1973 and was very proud and honoured to serve for over thirty-five years. Throughout his life and career with the City Police, Cal made many, many lasting friendships and bonds; he truly was a friend to all he met.

Cal enjoyed golfing, riding his motorcycle, BBQ's, spending time with his family and friends, boasting about his grandkids and his everyday walk with his trusted four-legged companion, Savanah. Quick witted, generous and kind, Cal was always willing to lend a hand, share a beer, tell a joke or just listen. He loved to travel and visited an impressive number of worldwide destinations with his loving wife, family and friends. He truly loved to live and lived a wonderful life.

Calvin will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his wife, Wanda, their three children, Jason, Tara (Jose), and Sean; and was the proudest grandpa to Veronica, Mateo, and Eloissa. He is also survived by his mother Viola, and his three sisters, Charlene, Judy, and Kimberly; his extended family, Shirley (Jim) and Wendy (Dan); and his many beloved nieces and nephews. Cal was predeceased by his father Weldon Metcalf.

Due to current gathering restrictions, a Celebration of Life service will be held at a later date. If friends so desire, in lieu of flowers memorial tributes may be made directly to a charity of your choice.
