Calvin “Cal” Clyde Tryon, of Brookfield, Ohio, passed away Sunday, November 27, 2022, while a patient in St. Elizabeth Medical Center, Youngstown, Ohio, following a sudden illness. He was 83.

Calvin was born March 21, 1939, in Massillon, Ohio, a son of Calvin Converse Tryon and Mary Irene (Hollinger) Tryon-Gortner.

He graduated from Massillon High School in 1957 and had worked in several different industries throughout his lifetime. Most notably, Cal was a plant manager at Wean United Manufacturing, Youngstown, as well as for Timken, Satek Systems, and Ingersoll companies, to name a few. He was a man of many interests and talents.

Cal was very active in the racehorse & show horse communities. He learned how to be a blacksmith to shoe his horses, and was involved in owning, training, as well as breeding horses. Furthermore, he was a former master mason while he lived in Canton, Ohio.

In his spare time, he enjoyed frequenting casinos, playing a round or two of golf, going to the Kentucky Derby, and traveling the world. Cal was an avid reader, who was always willing to learn new concepts and ideas. He had a brilliant mind and liked to challenge himself.
