In Memoriam
Roland Calhoun
Glencoe native
and former Village
President Roland Blanchard
Calhoun died Jan. 10 in Centennial,
Col. A memorial service is
set for 2 p.m. Feb. 3 at Glencoe
Union Church. Calhoun was
born on Nov. 30, 1925, in Evanston
Hospital (where he was the
biggest baby born up until that
time, at 10 pounds, 4 ounces).
Roland was the eighth child of
James Kent Calhoun, and the
fourth child of JK’s second wife,
Blanche Hurford. Calhoun was
raised on Greenwood Avenue
in Glencoe and graduated from
New Trier High School at 16. He
attended the University of Arizona,
where he was in the country’s
last ROTC cavalry unit, then
joined the Navy in 1944. He enrolled
at Northwestern University
after the war, earning a degree
in electrical engineering in 1949.
He met his future wife, Shirley
Somers, at Northwestern; they
married in 1950. After graduation,
Calhoun worked for Commonwealth
Edison, then moved
to Mills-Winfield Engineering
Sales, where he remained until
he retired as the president in
1988. He and Shirley moved to
Glencoe in 1952 and raised their
five children there. Calhoun held
various public positions, starting
with the presidency of the Glencoe
Park and Recreation District
Board, which he left in 1968 to
become Glencoe Village President
from 1968-1976. He was on
the board of the Harris Bank of
Glencoe for 20 years, raised significant
funds for the new North
Shore Senior Center as a member
of its associate board, and
was always active in the Glencoe
Union Church, where he joined
the choir at the age of 5 and held
practically every volunteer position,
including guiding younger
generations as leader of Youth
Fellowship. But his most highprofile
position was on the antique
high bicycle that he rode
in every Glencoe Fourth of July
Parade for decades. Calhoun
and Shirley moved to Northbrook
in 1996, then to Centennial
in 2012, where they joined
the Holly Creek community and
became members of the First
Presbyterian Church of Littleton
choir. Calhoun loved trains,
music, logical thinking, building
and repairing anything, his communities,
his family and his God.
His mantra was: “Doing good,
having fun, maybe both.” He is
survived by his wife, Shirley; his
five children, Geoffrey Calhoun
(married to Deborah) of Conifer,
Col.; Patricia Calhoun of
Denver; Susan Nicholl (married
to Matthew) of Framingham,
Mass.; Catherine Calhoun (married
to Nathan Ward) of Brooklyn;
Donna Weinstock (married
to Ray), a dozen grandchildren
and six great-grandchildren. In
lieu of flowers, memorial contributions
can be made to the
Glencoe Union Church, the Seeley
Lake Fire Fund at Missoula
United Way or Step-Denver.org.

life. She cherished her family

Lake, Wis. Hadley was a loyal
friend and continually helped to
coordinate reunions with lifetime
friends from her Highland
Park Braeside grade school. She
was a graduate of New Trier
High School and attended Colorado
College. More recently,

with her local bridge club, spirited
world event discussions, and
