MORROW, Calvin James December 11, 1931 - December 20, 2011 We are deeply saddened to announce the peaceful passing of our proud and loving father Cal. Calvin was the oldest boy from a family of eight children, born and raised in North Vancouver. From an early age he fell in love with cars and eventually built his own custom 1934 Ford hot rod, which he completed in 1954. He went on to win many races and shows. Cal's family was always his first priority. He is survived by his daughter Cindy (Brent), son Bradley (Lynne), daughter Teresa (Kevin), son Frank (Kelli), daughter Wanda (Brent), stepdaughter Andrea (Don), 14 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. He is predeceased by his brother Wayne, sisters Norma and Darlene, granddaughter Nicole, first wife Jacqueline and second wife Marguerite. The family wishes to invite you to a Celebration of Cal's Life on Saturday, January 14, 2011, 2:00pm at First Memorial Funeral Home, Boal Chapel 1505 Lillooet Road, North Vancouver. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the charity of your choice in Calvin's name.
