• Many fans might have wondered why the Undertaker didn't go with the Smackdown brand on their recent tour of Asia, as well as show up on Smackdown this week to hype up his match against John Cena at Vengeance this Sunday.
  
  The reason the Undertaker missed these two events was due to the death of his father. Frank C. Calaway passed away on Tuesday July 22, 2003 at the age of 76. Here is the offical obituary:
  
  FRANK C. CALAWAY, 76, was born in Temple, Oklahoma on November 16, 1926 and passed away peacefully on Tuesday July 22, 2003. Frank served with the U.S. Navy during World War II in the Pacific Theater. He retired from the Houston Post in 1991 after 38 years of dedicated service. He is survived by his beautiful wife of 56 years, Catherine; five sons and their wives, David and Eleanor, Michael and Hideko, Paul and Ana, Tim and Diane, and Mark and Sara; brother, Howard; sisters, Elizabeth McPherson and Colleen Pennington; fourteen grandchildren, three great grandchildren and numerous friends. The family will receive friends on Thursday July 24, 2003 from 6:00 until 8:00 p.m. at Heights Funeral Home, 1317 Heights Boulevard. The funeral service will be Friday July 25, 2003 at 10:00 a.m. in the Chapel of Heights Funeral Home with Rev. Donald McPherson officiating. Interment will follow in Brookside Memorial Park. The family would like to thank all of the close friends, doctors, and nurses who have provided endless support in our greatest time of need. Frank, you will be dearly missed and fondly remembered. God bless you. We know you are looking down on us with a smile.
  
  We here at LOP wish to express our condolences to the Undertaker and his family during this time of mourning.
