My condolences to the Johnson family. I had the pleasure of meeting Calvin back when he first came to Kuwait to work. He was a good man and friend. When he left, he said he wasn't coming back. He did...actually a couple times.....It was always as if he never left though. We would pick up as if we had just seen each other yesterday. I still have the music he shared with me. As someone else stated, we would listen to music and his question would always be the same..."Boy what you bout that!?" My heart is heavy as I try to digest the news of his passing. I will take comfort in the memories I have of him and knowing he has gone home to be with the Lord. Rest well my friend.

I'd like to offer my condolences in the passing of Calvin. He was a great person to know and be around while working in Kuwait. He always brought a smile when he was around. As proven in the picture that Keldric shared of us at my farewell party. Always playing his music, and asking "what you know about that". Or over the years saying he was working to put a roof on his house, lol.... Calvin you will truely be missed. Rest easy friend, continue to share your laughter in the clouds...

To the Johnson family I would like to offer my sincerest condolences on the passing of Calvin. He was like family to us here in the Kuwait TPE office and we loved him. He made us laugh, he loved to play blues/ soul music for us "country folks" as he always said, and he loved to quote Shakespeare while rubbing his belly. He will be missed. R.I.P Calvin

My deepest condolences to the Johnson family. Calvin picked me up from the airport upon my arrival to Kuwait in 2001, and the bond that we shared surpassed the friendship level, and was more like blood relatives. I will always remember his laughter and jokes, however I will also remember his great advice. Rest my brother and you will always be loved and remembered.

I would like to express my extreme shock and sadness of hearing the passing of Calvin and to extend my deepest Condolences to the Johnson family members I had the pleasure of meeting. Time and distance for various reasons has kept us apart, and for that I'm truly sorry. We will always remember his laughter and how he loved to shake that water head!! May God continue to bless each of you and Selina during your time of loss. We loved him, but God loved him best!
