Calvin Moore, 67 Calvin Moore, 67, of Millersburg, formerly of Cleveland, passed away Thursday, Oct. 29, 2015, at Scenic Pointe Nursing Home, Millersburg. Services were Tuesday in Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery, Rittman. Pastor Bill Miller officiated. Arrangements were handled by Alexander Funeral Home, Millersburg. Those wishing to share a memory or make on-line condolences may do so by visiting www.alexanderfhinc.com. He was born to Cleophus and Mary on Dec. 20, 1947, at Five Points, Ala., and attended Cleveland Public Schools. He was a graduate of Thomas Edison High School in 1965. He joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 1966 and later joined the U.S. Air Force in 1971. Calvin loved to travel and visited 30 out of the 50 states. He was loved by everyone he encountered. Although many say disabilities can show the worst in people, not with Calvin. He would not allow you to see the worst in him nor in you. Whenever Calvin was around, you were guaranteed to have a laugh. Calvin had an art book showing displays of what are now Cadillac cars and fashion that people did not see until the 2000s. Calvin
was futuristic before futuristic even became popular. Being a self-taught guitarist, the stories Calvin told warmed everyone’s hearts. Leaving people in question of what type of Marine he was? What type of boxer or mechanic was he? It is plain and simple, the man with that gigantic smile that lit up a room was an outstanding man in all he did. Calvin leaves behind a sister, Debra Moore (Ervin); nieces Shelia, Monique (Antonio) and Maya; nephews Orlando, Michael, Terence, Antwan and Rondell (Erica); and 10 great-nieces and nephews. He is now home with his beloved mother, Mary; sister Janice; brothers Jesse, Eugene, Michael and Kenneth; and a brother-in-law, Frank Ervin.
