Calvin C. Mills, 93, of Sparta, N.J., passed away on Tuesday August 21, 2018. Calvin (Cal) was a lifetime resident of Sparta growing up on Mills Farm with his 9 brothers and sisters. Cal graduated from Newton High School – because at that time, Sparta did not have a high school. Cal loved the outdoors and was well known for walking every day to get the newspaper. He worked for many years doing landscaping, snowplowing and general road maintenance in Lake Mohawk before joining the Sparta Township public works department. He retired from Sparta Township after over 20 years of service. Cal was also a volunteer with the Forest Fire Service for over 40 years. From his childhood on the farm, Cal always enjoyed being outdoors – bike riding, hiking, gardening, and taking longs drives through the countryside to visit his favorite diners. Cal is survived by his three children, Peter Mills, Megan Miller and Tim Mills, and four grandchildren Kayla, Courtney, Sean and Jenson. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, August 28, 2018 from 4:00 - 8:00pm at Goble Funeral Home, 22 Main St. Sparta, NJ 07871. A funeral service will be held on Wednesday, August 29, 2018 at 11:00AM in the funeral home. Interment will follow at Sparta Cemetery.
