Cecil Virgil Calvert, 85, long- time resident of Glenpool OK, earned his wings to Heaven September 6, 2012. He was born September 13, 1926 in McIntosh County Oklahoma to Virgil and Dora Calvert.

Cecil lived life to the fullest. He was extremely proud of his family and was happiest during our large family gatherings. Cecil was a man of integrity and instilled strong character values in his children. He believed in working hard for a dollar, living an honest life, and caring for others. He always grew the biggest, most beautiful garden. He had a giving spirit and gave the majority of his vegetables to family, friends, and neighbors. You could always count on a friendly wave from the front porch of his home or his scooter as he cruised through town; he never met a stranger. Cecil was a retired barber, bus driver, and public service worker for the City of Glenpool. We were blessed to have the years we spent with him. While we will miss him greatly on this earth, we know we will be reunited one day and he will be waiting patiently for us with the ?Good Man?.
