To the family of "PigPen"... Cal was such a nice guy... that is until he picked up a softball bat,then is was woe unto that softball. I worked with Cal during his DuPont days, hung out with him and the guys at the service station and later in life, after DuPont, at the cruise in's. He was soft spoken but a giant of a man. You will be missed. "Pig" rest well my friend Al Adkins....
