Calvin was born July 13, 1925 in Blair, Oklahoma to Burnum and Lula Mae (Lee) Farmer. He joined the navy at the young age of 17 and received an honorable discharge after his years of service. He was proud of his country and honored to be called a WWII veteran.
In 1946 he married Betty Rose Petway. They were together for 30 years and were blessed with four wonderful children. After this union was dissolved, he and Sue Wyse were married in Gainesville, Texas on July 27, 1976. They shared 35 good years together until her passing in 2011.
