Harrison, Calvin P.Tuesday, January 09, 2007
Calvin Perry Harrison of Midlothian, Virginia died on January 9, 2007. He was born in Hopewell, Virginia on November 10, 1922 to John Edward and Emma Brough Harrison. He was predeceased by his parents; one brother, Robert Almonte Harrison; and two sisters, Emma Ruth Lane, and Barbara Ann Wood. He is survived by his wife of more than 56 years, Evelyn Marie Carelock Harrison; one son, Calvin Henry Harrison, of Portland, Oregon; one daughter, Diane Harrison Retzer, of Midlothian, Virginia; three grandchildren, Spencer Harrison Campbell, Emilia Marie Campbell, and Brennan Donald Retzer, all of Midlothian, Virginia; two step grandsons, Samuel Joseph Retzer of Los Angeles, California, and Will Patrick Retzer of Charlottesville, Virginia; one sister, Catherine Harrison Page of Greensboro, North Carolina; and a multitude of devoted relatives and friends. Calvin was employed by E.I. DuPont and DeMours for 34 years. He was a member of First Baptist Church, Hopewell, Virginia, where he served as a deacon for numerous terms. Calvin was actively involved in basketball, baseball and softball leagues until his middle years when illness limited his physical participation in these activities. Nonetheless, the determination, cooperative attitude, strength of character and winning spirit Calvin demonstrated on the court and field were apparent in his interactions with others through all of his days and remain his legacy.

Evelyn, I am so sorry to hear about Calvin's death. Our friendship goes back many years---first off was Business College, then our working together at Hercules. I remember how each time Joe and I came back to Virginia for a visit with my Dad, you and Calvin always managed to visit with us while we were there. I treasure our friendship!!! Love and prayers, Barbara Carter Crockett. Posted by: Barbara A. Crockett at January 12, 2007 06:32 AMGod bless your family during your time of mourning. You are in our prayers. Posted by: Peggy & Ben Cooke at January 11, 2007 05:57 PMMy deepest sympathy to the family. May the many memories you have of Mr. Harrison provide you peace in this time of sorrow. Posted by: Ned K. Swartz at January 11, 2007 03:14 PMMy deepest condolences to Evelyn and her family on the loss of a beloved husband, father and friend. The love and care that Calvin and Evelyn had for each other was obvious and inspiring; it warmed all who came in contact with them. I will always remember Calvin's bright eyes and his smile that would quickly turn into a huge, impish grin. Calvin will long be remembered by all who knew him.
