Dear Family & Friends: Our brother, Calvin, died suddenly of a heart attack early this morning. He was 75 years old and had just celebrated 56 years of marriage to Lillie. Calvin was actively promoting gospel music right up til the day of his homegoing. In fact, he attended a gospel sing Friday night.

Calvin was Chairman Of The Board, SGMA Of Texas, an organization he helped found more than thirty years ago. He was also President of the Texas Music Hall Of Fame. He designed and was caretaker for the Gospel Museum Bus, displaying gospel artifacts at concerts, church events, fairs, etc. He loved that bus......

Calvin was an original member of the Wills Family Quartet established by A. B. Wills in 1938. He sang the gospel for more than sixty years, beginning with his brothers and sisters, and then with his wife, Lillie, for the past thirty years.

The funeral will be Friday, November 1st, 2:00 PM at Bethel Baptist Church, E. Randoll Mill Rd, Arlington, Texas. Moore's Funeral Home, Davis Street, Arlington, is in charge, with burial at Moore's Memorial Gardens.

Please keep Lillie, Randy ( son) and Cindy (daughter) and their families in your prayers. Thanks to all of you for your love.
