Great Memories of Uncle Calvin and Uncle Walt and their families coming to Mamaw and Papaw Huddleston for the summer vacation. We would always go fishing at Norris Lake. An enjoyable time. RIP Uncle Calvin.

A loving farewell to Evie and Maynards last child. As a child we would anticipate for weeks a visit from "the boys". Evie is rejoicing today as the last of her children has joined her. It breaks my heart to say goodby to Calvin. Never again to have the fellowship we all enjoyed so much. Our pain is heavens gain. Our thoughts go to Calvins family as they say goodby to their loved one. I can't travel anymore, but I wish I could join you all. Butch, I know you were a good son. I admire you for what you did while Calvin was alive.
