ACREE, Calvin Llewellen Sr., was called home by our Lord to spend eternity with Jesus on February 20, 2023. Born on May 6, 1932, Calvin was very blessed to spend his last day on this earth reminiscing with his loving family before making a peaceful transition into heaven.

Calvin was a Naval combat veteran, proudly serving our country during the Korean conflict. He retired from Local #10 after working for over 40 years as a pipefitter and plumber. He was a member of Black Creek Baptist Church, where he served faithfully for many years as an usher, and chairman of the Building and Grounds committee. Calvin enjoyed working on cars and playing music. He restored numerous antique cars over the years and was a member of the "Jubilee" Band, playing the guitar and banjo.
