Calvin was born on July 6, 1945, to Calvin
Monroe Osborne Sr. and Helen McDannel Osborne in
Anchorage, Alaska.
Calvin’s mother Helen was one first set of twins
born in Anchorage in 1914. Helen’s parents, John
Casey and Mary, operated the Twin’s Café and
Hotel in downtown Anchorage until John’s death
in 1930.
Calvin was married to Linda Louise Inman on May
8, 1963, and they had four children. Calvin’s
beloved wife Linda passed away in 1978, and
that’s when Calvin decided to move his family
out of Alaska and settle on a small farm in the
Copeland area of Bonners Ferry.
Calvin was a hard working man whose working
career included work on the Alaska Pipeline,
being a gas fitter for Anchorage Natural Gas, an
independent long-haul truck driver and owner of
Belfair Auto Parts. Calvin worked hard for his
family and he enjoyed his play time as well. He
was a seasoned fisherman who provided many fish
for the family table. There were many wonderful
family camping trips to Homer, Alaska.
In Idaho, a favorite spot to recreate was
Robinson Lake. He loved fishing, camping,
picking berries and riding four wheelers,
motorcycles and snow machines.
