Calvin 'Cal' Spitzer
Calvin "Cal" Spitzer, 83, of Billings, passed away Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2009, after a short battle with cancer.
Cal was born on Aug. 29, 1925, in Streeter, N.D., a son of Phillip and Lydia Spitzer. He married the love of his life, Doris Andres, on Sept. 24, 1948, in Jamestown, N.D. The first three years of their marriage, they farmed in Streeter, N.D., and then moved to Jamestown for two years. From there, they moved to Billings, where they raised six children: Debbie (Nolan) Krieger of Billings, Steve (Sandi) Spitzer of Dundee, Ore., Sandra (Bill) Stout of Cul-de-sac, Idaho, Susan (Larry) Diedrich of Billings, David (Teresa) Spitzer of Billings, and Don (Shirley) Spitzer of Billings. He and Doris celebrated their 60th anniversary last August.
Cal worked in road construction and retired from H.L. Ostermiller Construction. He proudly attended the New Apostolic Church and loved the Lord with all his heart. He was the proudest when his family attended church with him, filling two full pews.
Along with his children and his wife, Cal is survived by 11 grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and four siblings, Richard and Delano Spitzer of Minnesota, and Erma Ginger and Herbert Spitzer of North Dakota.
As his family, we want to express our heartfelt thanks to Dad's two special Hospice Angels, Chris and Ronda.
Here's to you Dad, remembering you with the twinkle in your eye and the grin on your face. To a special husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, we send our love to you. Danke Sch?n!!
Visitations will begin Friday morning, Jan. 23, at the Smith Downtown Chapel, 925 S. 27th St. The funeral service will be at 2 p.m. on Saturday, January 24 at the New Apostolic Church, half block south of Broadwater on 15th St. West, with cremation to follow. A fellowship gathering will follow the service at the church.
Memorials are suggested to the New Apostolic Church or Rocky Mountain Hospice.
