We are heartbroken to acknowledge the passing of Cal on March 10, 2026, at St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton at the age of 82, after a three-year journey with esophageal cancer. We were hoping for more days.
Love of Julia’s life for 47 years. Devoted father of Chris (Annie), Matthew (Taryn), and Paul Kane (d. 2024). Beloved stepfather of Aaron Miller (Wanda), Jovian Miller (Laura) and Ethan Miller (2014). Adored grandfather of Brandon, Jasmyn (James Fletcher), Taylor (Mike Burton), Riley and Charlotte Kane.
Cherished step-grandpa of Jenna (Alex), Rachel, Grace, James, Rosie and Annabelle Miller. GGPa of Max and Eleanor Burton and Portia and Scarlett Fletcher. Dear brother of Avalon Luby (Larry) (Spokane, Washington).
Fondly remembered by nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends.
Cal was born in Calgary, raised in Vancouver and moved to Toronto for college. He was very well respected in the cardiac device industry and was a leader in shaping the pacing and defibrillator medical community through educational symposiums. He loved to travel, ski, scuba, snorkel and was an avid videographer. Cal turned his energy to golf in Florida, Thornhill and St. Davids and any opportunity around the world. Cal loved his gardens, ponds, birds, Bella and Bear, and always Julia. He led by example all his life and his goodness is his legacy.
“Every day is a Gift”
