RAPID CITY | On October 4, 2014, we all lost a close friend to our hearts with the passing of Calvin "Cal" Kincaid. Cal was born on May 27, 1937, in Franklin, TN. At 17, he joined the U.S. Marine Corps and reached the rank of sergeant prior to his honorable discharge in 1957. Shortly thereafter he met Wanda, his soon to be wife, with whom he was happily married for the past 56 years. Cal was the proud father of three boys. His passion for raising respectful and well-rounded kids did not stop with his own. Cal coached Black Hills Little League and Pony League teams for 14 years. He was a favorite among the kids because of his competitive spirit and fun-loving bantering with his players. He led the first Rapid City Pony team past the Denver Regional in 1969, putting them one step away from the World Series. Every day was a good day for Cal. Always full of energy, he hardly ever sat still. Visiting with friends and family is what kept him going day after day. In 1966, Cal began working for KRSD Radio selling advertising, and has been in the same profession ever since. To his co-workers and customers he was seen as family. Cal bragged about having the perfect job as work consisted of going out each day and visiting with his friends. Nobody was a stranger to Cal. When not at work, Cal was always staying busy. Cal took pride in his yard and loved doing his chores around the house. Cal enjoyed golfing and spending his time with friends and family. Camping trips in the motor home were highlights of many summers. He had a unique gift in which he could always put a smile on anyone's face. Cal had a nickname for everyone, family and friends included, which made them all feel special. Cal's big heart is what we will all miss the most. His presence would bring joy and happiness to everyone's day. He would always go out of his way to help no matter when you needed him. Cal valued respect and honesty, and was a role model we all looked up to. His selflessness and generosity never went unnoticed. Cal left behind his wife, Wanda; and three boys, Larry (Tanya), David (Michelle) and Danny (Petty). He is also survived by his mother, sister, seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Visitation will be from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 8, at Osheim & Schmidt Funeral Home. Funeral Services will be at 11 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 9, at Canyon Lake United Methodist Church. Interment will follow at Black Hills National Cemetery near Sturgis, with full military honors by the Rushmore VFW Post 1273 and the U.S. Marine Corp Honor Guard. A memorial has been established for the Boys Club, Shrine Children's Hospital Transportation and Canyon Lake Methodist Church.
