Calvin John Jamieson, a lifelong resident of the Old Mission Peninsula passed away peacefully on July 17, 2024 surrounded by family. He was nearly 92 and will be remembered for his love for family, faith, country and community. He was a kind, patient and generous man, always willing to lend a hand or offer advice when asked.
Cal and his late wife Verla were very active in the OMP community, including the OMP United Methodist Church, Old Mission Legion, OMP Historical Society and the Tree-Planting Committee, working with the Scouts to plant trees along our OMP roads.

The photo at the top of this story is of Cal standing in the historic Hessler Log Cabin at Lighthouse Park on Log Cabin Day 2017. And here he is with the Scouts, on the right, planting trees near the corner of Center Road and Gray Road in 2019.
A native of the Peninsula, he had a gift for relating to everyone, whether you lived here all your life or moved here last week.
His memorial service will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 1, at OMP United Methodist Church, 16426 Center Road. Visitation is at 10 a.m., with the service at 11 a.m. A luncheon will follow.
I will write more about this beloved member of our community, who’s been a presence in my life since the day I was born, but I wanted to make sure you all knew about the memorial. All are welcome to attend. Read his obituary over at the Reynolds-Jonkhoff site here.
