Mr. Willie Calvin Glover was born on July 29, 1939 to the union of Wallace Randle Glover and Gussie Mitchell Glover in Talladega, Alabama.

Mr. Glover was a longtime member of Africa Missionary Baptist Church where he served faithfully as a deacon and sang with the male chorus and senior choir. Mr. Glover was a graduate of Talladega County Training School. Willie C. was a familiar face to those in Talladega and surrounding areas as a salesman at Colonial Chevrolet until they closed.
