Biography

Calvin Edward Stacer, 83, of Harbor Beach, passed away Sunday, September 20, 2026, at Lakeview Extended Care at Harbor Beach under hospice care. Calvin was born on April 23, 1943, in Harbor Beach to the late Simon and Louise (Campbell) Stacer. He married Judy Wipping on May 2, 1964, at Sts. Peter & Paul Catholic Church in Ruth. Calvin graduated from Our Lady of Lake Huron High School in 1961. He was a member of St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, where he served as a member of the choir and the Men’s Club. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus Council 3823 in Ruth. Calvin was a lifelong dairy and row crop farmer in Sherman Township, where he farmed with his wife and sons. Calvin enjoyed spending time with his family, and he and Judy spent over 10 years square dancing with friends. For the past 26 years, Calvin was confined to a wheelchair, due to a staph infection that caused him to be paralyzed, but that didn’t slow him down. With his positive attitude, he inspired many, and always with his classic smile. Calvin and Judy enjoyed going out to eat, participated in two card clubs, traveled across the country from one end to the other, went on two cruises, and always rang in the New Year together with friends!
