Sorry to hear of Calvin's passing.

He was a friend to many people through his fine work in the tackle business/guiding and conservation as well-especially for his beloved Sturgeon.

I was very saddened to hear of Calvins passing.

Calvin had a lot to do with the way that I fish today. When I was first getting set up for guiding in Vancovuer in 1992, Calvin gave me a lot of insite into what I needed to set up my boat and tackle.

I made many visits to Nikka in Steveston to buy tackle over the years. While it was closer for me to go to other stores in the Vancouver area, I always looked forward to my chats with Calvin to find out what was happening.

I think it was 2007 when I last saw Calvin. I popped into the store just before closing and picked up some Tuna lures upstairs as they were shutting off the lights. Calvin helped me pick out a couple and did not rush me out of the store.

Nikka just won't be the same without him.

The world won't be the same without him.

Having fished with Calvin and having spent much time sharing fishing experiences with him, this is very sad news to me. Having heard the news of his illness some time ago and noting his absence from the store for a long time--- I wondered last year if I would ever see him again. I knew his absence was telling. This is truly a sad day for the BC Sportfishing community and I offer my sincere condolences to all who knew him and his family. What a loss.

This is truly sad news.

I got to know Calvin a bit through his brother. What a great guy Calvin was, he will be missed.
