Fondly remembered by his sister in laws Ann (David) and Shernaz (Andrew). He will be also missed by several nieces and nephews. Although of Scottish descent, Cal was born in Uruguay and lived all throughout South America and the Caribbean before finally immigrating to Canada for school, where he studied at Bishop's University in Quebec. He started his career in banking after university and spent 42 years with the Royal Bank which included travelling all over the world before finally settling back in Canada. Cal spent countless hours maintaining his beautiful flower gardens in the summertime and also enjoyed spending time at the family cottage on Lake Erie. He loved going for long walks with his faithful companion Tucker, who was always by his side. He was a lifelong sports fan and was also involved in minor sports in Woodstock for many years. He loved the Toronto Blue Jays, Toronto Maple Leafs and European football. The family would like to thank Dr. Karen Fryer, Dr. Jitin Sondhi, the Oxford County Palliative Care Outreach Team, and the Oxford County Paramedics for their compassionate care during such a difficult time. They would also like to thank Dr. Jeff Nichols for always being there for them over the years. Cremation has taken place and a celebration of life will be held at a later date.
