I last saw Calvin while working for Swept Away Coach and Tours in Moncks Corner, SC. Calvin was called upon to bring Delbert and I a replacement coach while working a one-day shuttle to the Battle of the Bands competition in Atlanta. Calvin was a true gentleman and a professional in every sense of the word. He will be truly missed by all who knew him and by all who worked with him. May God eternally bless him.
