Calvin Bayne Isle of Palms - Calvin Coolidge "CC" Bayne, WWII veteran, died peacefully in his home on Isle of Palms, August 7, 2017, surrounded by his family, at the young age of 92. Cal is survived by his three children, Mark Bayne (Sherry), Isle of Palms, SC, Greg Bayne, Isle of Palms, SC, and Diana Hirshman (Eddie), Wando, SC. His nine grandchildren: Coulson Bayne (Lisa), Owen Bayne (Joshua), Johnson Bayne, Bayne Hirshman, Marybeth Bayne, Cooper Hirshman, Max Hirshman, Davis Hirshman, Calvin Z. Bayne and special family members Jane Lunn and Rosie Frasier. He is preceded in death by his wife, Betty Bayne, and daughter, Mary Ann Bayne; brother Jim Bayne; brother Edney Bayne; sister Minnie Justice. Cal was born on September 19, 1924, in Hendersonville, NC. He graduated from Dana High School and in 1941, and joined the Navy at 17 years old. He met his wife Betty on assignment in Moscow, and they married in 1957 in Newington, Connecticut and moved to Isle of Palms, SC, in 1963 after retiring from the Navy. He worked as a supply officer at the Navy Shipyard in Charleston and retired in 1987. He had been a member of the Isle of Palms Exchange Club, Stella Maris Men's Club, and was a lifetime member of the VFW Post on the Coast. Cal had brunch every Sunday for 5-25 family members and friends. He started this over 30 years ago "just so he could see his family". You would often see Cal, gardening, walking the beach, cutting his grass and his neighbor's grass, patching holes in city sidewalks and trimming back bushes along the sidewalks for the golf carts and pedestrians. There are many fond memories of cooking and having adult beverages, whether it be at the Post on the Coast or in his garage with the "Codge", and he will be missed! A funeral service is scheduled for Wednesday August 16, 2017, at 11:00 am, Stella Maris Catholic Church, 1204 Middle Street, Sullivan's Island. Monsignor McInerny will officiate the ceremony, with a Celebration of Life to follow at VFW, Post 3137, 1004 Ocean Blvd., on Isle of Palms, SC. All are welcome to attend, tell stories and celebrate Cal's life. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Stella Maris Church, 1204 Middle Street, Sullivan's Island, SC 29482.
