Calpin \t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tOBITUARY\t\t<\/p>\n<p>John was born on June 27, 1960, to the late Thomas and Patricia O\u2019Malley Calpin of Minooka. Following graduation from Scranton Central High School and Baltimore City Police Academy, he went on to have a long and distinguished career as a detective with the Baltimore Police Department, retiring after 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>\nA true renaissance man, John loved his Irish heritage, Minooka roots, Harleys, his dogs, foster cats, and hockey. Above all, John loved his family and friends. He made friends wherever he went and brought a smile to many faces with his quick wit and easy smile. He was unforgettable to those that had the good fortune of meeting him.<\/p>\n<p>\nJohn was a generous, thoughtful, and loving man. He always seemed to be aware of the needs of others and did whatever he could to help. Sometimes, that came in the form of a story from his life experiences. Even when the subject was serious in nature, he managed to sprinkle in his humorous take on the issue. This care for others continued even in death by his donation of his body to science.<\/p>\n<p>\nJohn is survived by his wife, Kimberly Ann, siblings Robert (Celeste), Kevin, Patricia Regan (Jack), and Mary Ellen DiSilvio (Peter), many nieces (including his favorite, Kaitlin), nephews and countless friends.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe was preceded in death by sister Kathy Moran, brothers Thomas, James, and Michael and sister-in-law Mary Calpin.<\/p>\n<p>\nA Catholic Mass will be held Saturday, July 25, 11:00 AM at Divine Mercy Parish, Davis St., Minooka.<\/p>\n<p>\nVisitation will be at 10:30 AM at the church.<\/p>\n<p>\nJohn T.
