Calvin C. Shaffer, 91, of Prairie du Chien, passed away peacefully Thursday, Nov. 19, 2020, at Crossing Rivers Health, after a brief illness. 

He was born June 3, 1929, in Blue River, the son of Walter and Lyndall (Richason) Shaffer. Calvin worked for Nelson Hardwoods in Prairie du Chien, well after his retirement. He was an avid Brewer and Packer fan watching and listening to most games. Calvin was a sharp-witted man and wanted things done his way. Calvin was fortunate to have loving family and caring friends around him throughout his life, right up to the day he passed away. A big thanks to his neighbors, Darci and Russ, for their kindness and help with Calvin. A thanks to Tom Cornford who was there when Calvin needed something, and to the lawn mower guy. Shout outs to Sheree and Mark Cornford, Wayne Shaffer and Dillon Davis for all their time, help and care given to Calvin these past years. He may not have said it, but Calvin did appreciate all that was done for him.

Calvin is survived by his nieces, Sheree Cornford (children Cole, Dillon, Amber) and Linda (Branko) Shaffer (child Lucas); nephews, Mark (Barb) Cornford, and Wayne (child Nicholas) Shaffer; and numerous friends.

Calvin was preceded in death by his parents; sisters and brothers-in-law, Zenith and Lyle Bunders, Janice and Dean Cornford; brothers, Wayne and Joe Shaffer; and nephew, Pat Shaffer. 

Thanks to the doctors and staff at Crossing Rivers Health for the care given to Calvin. Cheers to you Cal! 

A private family interment will be in the Evergreen Cemetery in Prairie du Chien. The Garrity Funeral Home, of Prairie du Chien, is assisting the family.
