My condolences to his son, grandsons, brothers, sisters and all his extended family and friends. My Uncle Johnny was a good man. Loved his wife, kids, grandkids, brothers, sisters, mom, dad and the rest of his family. Provided a beautiful home for them and life in Ohio. Thank you Uncle for making me laugh and smile when I got to see you on your visits in San Antonio and for your service to our country. Thank you also for the privilege of watching how you took care of your mom when you would stay with her on your visits. You will always be dearly loved and greatly missed.

Sorry to hear about Mr. Calderon's passing. He was a very great man. It was an honor to be in his families presence, so many family cookouts I attended while he tended to his grill. I was friends with his sons, and he was like a father figure to me, a real family man. He was stern but caring, and would give you the shirt off his back. He loved his heritage, enjoyed golfing, and was and took pride in his life and household. He always dressed up and was faithful to his religion. A true to heart man that will be missed but never forgotten.

My heartfelt sympathy to my cousin Johnny's family even though we didn't see each other very often because of distance. May he RIP and perpetual light shine upon him.
